Names everyone hates

[MommaGee]

Is it awful to pick a name everyone hates because we like it?
Not pregnant yet bit theoretical conversation about
Illyana
Arianna
Ellianna
Lillianna

Not for quads obviously Lol

For boys were liked
Malachi
Zachariah
Xavier

Are they really that bad?

I wouldn't say these are names that 'everyone hates' - on the contrary, they seem to be the sort of names that are very fashionable indeed at the moment.

I was expecting to read a list of 70s/80s style names that are regarded as out of fashion/dated at the moment.

I like the names except Iliana. It is OK in full but I know one who is known as Illy which is odd as it sounds like someone who is ill. She spends her entire life saying "no, not Lily, it's Illy with an I"

Xavier is prof X to me but that's what comes from having a marvel fan for a DP

They sound very Russian to my ears. Not that that is a bad thing. I do love Tatiana and Anastasia too haha.

Were actually have a Xavier, and yup Penguin DH's friends think he's a legend for scoring that one. Except I picked it cluelessly. Illiana is also a mutant name, junior mutants or something

pmurt We'd go Illyana and Yana, def not Illy

Xander is a great boys name as is Zach

Love Xander

Cant say I like any of them that much. But its up to you. Check out how they will be shortened though as others have said.

Don't like any of the fussy type girls names. Zachary is ok but don't like the rest of the boys names.

I've met three Xaviers (Xaviae!?) two were girls and one was previously called Martin so didn't really count. DH wanted it for our DC but I vetoed.
Malachi just reminds me of Malarkey as in 'What's all this malarkey?' (I know it's pron differently)
Zachariah is cool.

Don't like the girls names too frilly for my taste.

I used names my family didn't like though.

Only like Arianna, Malachi, and maybe Zachary and Lily instead.
