I've seen a lot of this, and I love unusual names so I'm wondering what names you would have loved to use but couldnt/wouldnt go for it as its too out there?

for me it'd have to be some of the lesser heard of mythological names Smile

We have a Juno. It was the most out there name on our lists and I wasn't sure, but then she came and she was a Juno. Glad we went with it and she loves her name.

Also loving Nyx, Gaia, and Aurora, although Aurora seems to be very popular around ours, so maybe not that out there anymore.

My imaginary twin boys would be Gaius and Galen over DPs dead body

I've a Minerva (roman version of Athena), I'm 28 weeks with a DS, I wanted Xerxes for a first name but it's going to be his middle name now.

I love a strong name some of these are magnificent!
