Names you love but could never use

Just for fun, what names do you love, but can’t use for whatever reason?

I really love Zelda, after Zelda Fitzgerald, but I feel they’d be teased because of the video game.

Anais is also cute. But I foresee lots of issues with pronounciation, and it kind of looks like anus!

Augustus - loved it for a little boy. But I feel people will forever associate it was Augustus Gloop.

What are yours?

Rafferty- just think it’s a bit too toff for we Yorkshire folk Grin.
Ophelia- like it, just think it’s a bit too try hard, same for Evangeline.
Rupert- love it but everyone just says like the bear.

Angelo and Raphael (a name along those lines eventually though)

Shiloh (for a boy) vetoed because it’s a ‘dogs name’ and Jolie-Pitt.

Alba, too much like albatross according to DP.

I've always liked the name Harrison. I could never use it because it sounds to 'sing songy' with our last name. It's also become so popular I didn't want DS to be one of ten in his class Grin

Juno for a girl

Have a floral surname which rules out my most favourite girls name... Lily. Or should I just have a sense of humour about it?!
