Names you secretly like but could never burden a child with?

[ThroughTheRoundWindow]

Was talking baby names with my husband yesterday and he admitted to wanting to name a son Aubrey. When I stopped laughing he agreed that it might lead to a little bit of bullying. But then I love
Evelyn (for a boy!) which is equally bad...

Have you or your DP got a secret soft spot for a name that might not go down so well in the playground?

[flowerygirl]

Otis and Rex. But I think both are dog's names!

[blueshoes]

Ophelia, but can't give that name because of the association with tragedy.

[lucywiltshire]

Otto for DS and Tatiana (Tatty) for a girl. DH says NO to both :-(

[Kyrptonite]

Zeus
Pixie
Persephone
Scout
Tiger-Lily
Loki
Honey
Aurelia

I've always wanted a girl called Aubrey, after the song by Bread. It's beautiful. But over the years whenever I've told a boyfriend they've thought it was horrible. It is a boys name but I think it sounds feminine. Also love Pearl, Tabitha, Tahlulla, Ned, Stanley or TedMy DH was too conservative to dare. Next time.....

[rubydoobydoo]

Ace or Tiger for a boy

[flowerygirl]

Haha I was going to be called Aubrey if I was a boy! I thought it was a bit out there for my parents as my name is so bland and average!

I love Lilac, Bluebell, Baxter, Pearl, Magnus but dh says no!

He is determined if we have a boy to call him Truman. I thought it was great until I tested it out on my friends, they all absolutely hated it!

[WhatsTheBuzz]

Judas!

[Jenniferturkington]

Love love love Leonard and Ptolemy. Not sure I'd dare though!

[Yay4may]

LOVE love Felix, Aubrey

Doodle dandy, mine too was Etienne! DH said no

[rcs19]

Pixie. Dh would never go for it (or let me have more babies for that matter). I'll have to save it for a pet.

[DoIgetastickerforthat]

Evangeline or Buttercup, both are arguably a bit fru fru bit I do love them. And if DD had been a boy, I was very tempted by Idris.

[Manoodledo]

Anouk - DH won't hear of it. My name and both DSs have appeared so far!

[PrincessUnderpaid]

Boo - from Monsters Inc. I just think its adorable but honestly totally ridiculous.

[peacefuleasyfeeling]

Bambi.

[armagh]

Myfanwy. But just change the w to an n !
Lots if others too. Where i live you'd be thought of as pretentious if you called a child an unusual name.

[Titchyboomboom]

Serendipity and patchouli!!! My inner hippy screams hurrahhh!!

[Fifi2406]

How come you think the name Aubrey would get bullied?

[ILikeRed]

My surname is two syllables beginning with C. I would LOVE to call our children Cassius and Clementine. Love the sounds together and if I was Victoria Beckham, I probably would.
Really don't think they'd go down too well at the local comp though.....

[miaowmix]

Wolfgang, Sebastian and Clover.
Actually there's nothing secret about it, I love these names, and almost wish I had more children now.

[2wwmadness]

Sukie for a girl an lucifer for a boy. I couldn't be that cruel. Although DS does have an unusual name. It doesn't have any connotations of the devil. (Even though sometimes he might [hmmm])

[Tranquilitybaby]

I love Barnaby, Barney for short but couldn't do it to the child. Too cutesy

[june2013]

My OH loves Pericles, Xerxes, Hector, Ulysses, Persephone (which I really really like too)...

[GaryBuseysTeeth]

Percival, Lancelot & Boromir (nn Bors) for a boy

Carmen & Aurora for a girl.

[talulahbeige]

I kept trying to get approval for Worzel from dh, it was only half in jest.
