Names you love but won't use

[forgetmenots]

For whatever reason - too common, bad with your surname, too wacky... Share here and someone else might be able to use them!

Mine are Autumn and Malachi...

Earnest
Noah
Percy
Alfie

All vetoed by DH but they all sound fab with our surname.

Oh love Percy Good name

Willow. Both love it but cruel to put it with our surname!

We are done having babies now. I wanted Matilda for DD, but DH wasn't keen, and tbf, she isn't really a Matilda and totally suits her name now (Rosa). If she had been a boy, I wanted Benjamin, but was vetoed as SIL dp is called that, or Sebastian, but our surname is quite long so it would have been a bit of a mouthful DS's name has been mentioned twice on this thread already

My DD is called Willow

Tristan. I love it.

I have a friend with a dd called India, Indy for short and it really suits her.

Looby, do you know me? My DD is India, known as Indy. Suits her down to the ground. My favourite novel is Gone With the Wind and she would have been Scarlett but it's just too popular now.

Boys

Asa
Tobias
Felix

Girls

Esme
Estelle
Emma

Single and not as young as I would like so anymore babies unlikely (though not impossible).

Aroara for a girl and tobis for a boy.

Both my parents names are on this thread!!!
And most if them I know a child called that

Lucretia

Dmitri.

Charmian (as in Mrs Biggs)

Valentina and Shea. Love them both, but don't really go with our surname and since DD's name is English, the next child's (if we have one) should probably reflect dh's heritage.

Esme, Harper, Ava, Bella - too popular

I absolutely love the name Astrid, I think it's elegant and classy. But I really don't think I'll have the guts to use it when DD is here. It's a grown-up name, not a baby name.

Godfrey. It makes me think of Arthurian knights. It makes everyone else think of Geography teachers.

Isabel. I love it but I know hundreds of them.

Hero for a girl and Jesse for a boy.

Felix and Merry- both tainted by knowing despicable people with the name.

Agnes for a girl, it is my gran's name and I love it, dh has total no! Think i might hang in there for a middle name. And for a boy Oak... That was no too!

Beau for our DS, DH vetoed it with gusto!

DC2 was going to be Ingrid Simone, but turned out to have a winkle.
