unsual names that you love

[jmox]

what are some unusual names that you love? That you may not ever be brave enough to actually use but "secretly" love?

Mine is Brigitta..I have loved it since I first saw The Sound of Music when I was 7! Not sure I could ever use it but I on the down-low really like it. I also like Vera and considered using it but did not get one positive feedback about it..boo!

Caspian
Rex

Sia
Clover
Ocean

Ptomely.

Not keen on the spelling but love the sound of it. Would never use it though.

Oops, meant to write Ptolemy!

(Another reason not to use it apparently being my tendency to spell it wrong!)

Love this thread. I'd love to use Anoukh for a girl and Valentine for a boy, but wouldn't dare.

Briseis
Andromache
Morgana
Xena
Aphrodite

Achilles
Paris
Ulysses
Solan
Sirius

Juanita

Lyra

Demeter - Demi for short

I love traditional boy names. current faves are

Ninian
marmaduke
Digby

Mehitabel

I'd like the name Darwin. Unisex, for boy or girl but my husband says no…. it sounds so majestic and strong and noble!

Ankaret
Laeticia

Aeneas
Eachann

Fox. Love it, I tried to persuade dp to call ds2 Fox but he was having none of it!

I know a Darwin - nicest guy in the world (very attractive too). he has a son called, I think, Stetson!

I knew a very cool little boy called Zeno a while back - loved it.

I love Cosmo for a boy and Loveday for a girl....I'm expecting twins and although these have both been vitto'd by dh. My master plan is that dh will by so over whelmed when he sees no1 that he will agree to anything when no2 makes an appearance!

I love Persephone, but Ds says not way, Mummy, it sounds like a telephone.

Pandora

Hephaestion.

I love this name for a boy, but I don't think I could do that to the poor child.

i love Buddy for a boy

Lettice.

I still wish I'd got my way with that one.

Emerson for a boy but I'm not brave enough to use it.

Suppose not that unusual in terms of well known name but I love the name Cassandra and never met one.

Kester or Clement for a boy

Vita or Cleopatra for a girl
