If I like Placebo Aurelius and Pomander Ashanti...

[Dovahkiin]

..What other names might I like?

I'm looking for a name which has absolutely no personal or cultural significance for me or my family, which clearly denotes to other parents that I'm terribly well-educated and artistic while simultaneously suggesting that I don't care in the least what other people think.

Ladies, can you help?

Have you explored Etruscan names, Dovakhin? Plenty more where Tarquin came from.

I think Fufluns Perpetuus has a certain ring.

Or for a girl, Kurvenas Volumnia.

Lovely names further in the Babylonian world as well:

Hammurabi (perhaps linked with something shorter: Sean Hammurabi?)

Utnapishtim (here I'd suggest Ethelweord Utnapistim)

Assurbanipal (James-Assurbanipial in one word, perhaps?)

Enobaria Ianthe.

Timur-i-Leng or Ghengis' actual name Temujin. Shurely everyone knows that Ghengis was his title?

Am partial to Jesus Shakespeare Whippet.

Damn you all! Especially Coruskate. Here I am, innocently browsing active threads to while away rest time as I recover from a CS five days ago.... I swear my scar has just ruptured from laughing so much!

For girls:

Levonelle Horatia
Dianette Hecate
Cerazette Claudia
Microgynon Millicent
Cilest Hebe
Canesten Ottilie
Pessary Araminta
Feminax Hera

Eglantine myopia is very regal. Or how about regale bell.

Tiara Boobytrap

Vacagina dryanuse.

Ralph- I do actually know a (white-British) Temujin! (named after GK, obv)

i always fancied

cthulhu

just can't think of a good middle name. perhaps i should ask tge good folk of mumsnet

I like the idea of a strong first name like Cerazette and something whimsical as a middle name, such as OopsyDaisy, to fully capture the circumstances of my DD's conception.

If you're going for Cthulhu, merci, you really need a nice middle name like SlitheringCursedAbominationOfDarkness or DampGreenCityNotOfThisEarth!

If you go with Cthulhu, could you make the first name Karlov?

Sorry, I'll get me coat...

Love Secret Savage

I'd always go French...

Boeuf Rideau has a certain ring to it.

Delacroix Seine, where the X is of course pronounced.

Poubelle Vichy would be a lovely girls name

Pahahaha! This thread is genius, I'm crying here!

How about Occulous Dentata

how about Hexagon Fannyfart?

Plate-Oh Pomfreet

SirChenjin

surely you meant Plato Chips Aside?

How about tarquin?

I do know an Attila.

Amrita N?g? Wat

has a nice ring to it (roughly translates as potion of eternity, snake goddess, temple)

Ma-Ma Hu-Hu So-So

(???? or horse horse tiger tiger; meaning so so)
