Guilty pleasure

[Guacamoledip]

Seen this somewhere else before and it threw out some brilliant names and unusual choices so....
your guilty pleasure names, names you love but perhaps wouldn’t use

@Patal I have a close friend called Kingsley. He mostly gets called King of Kings. Very strong name which he gets complimented on most times we are out *yawn

Liberty
Belladonna
Alessandra

Isambard
Matthias

Actually, I did have Matthias on my actual list of boys names for the DC1 but having seen DH's reaction to more everyday names, I don't think I even bothered mentioning it. If DS had been a girl, he would have been Alexandra but not Alessandra as the complete lack of Italian connections would have made it look a bit odd.

Pollyanna
Amaryllis
Persephone
Seraphina

Phoenix :)

Saylor and Taurus for girls

Atlas for a boy

I'd love to use Barbara or Olive for a girl, but don't think I'd dare!

Cartier for a boy or maybe Everest would be my pick!

But will likely use something much more classic.

Jonquil for a girl nn Bonnie. Daren't even suggest it!

Autocorrect. Jonnie not Bonnie.

Winter, Autumn, Summer, Dimitri, Raphael, Aster

DS was VERY nearly Raphael. And then we plumped for a name he shares with approx 6 other children at nursery

Ooh my daughters name is on here, indianna, still love it so does she she’s 24!

Athena
Clementine
Gabriel

I like Jennet (could be nn Jen/Jenny if the recipient didn't like it) but it's the name of the 'Woman in Black' in the Daniel Radcliffe horror film, so maybe not.......

plus the fact I have 3 boys, and not having any more DC

Lacey
Cookie
Candy

Those were my Barbies when I was a kid. I was TOTALLY going to grow up and have babies named thus.

Wahahahaha 😂😂

(I must say that I didn’t use any of those names!)

Also: Panda!

How could I have forgotten Panda?!

My daughter's name has been mentioned :) not sure what name to give the sibling we're about to start trying for though as it's a hard name to find an equal to!

I adore Caspian and Caspar but dh isn't a fan. Athena too. Minerva was the other choice for DD but I'm wondering if it's a bit too much so it may stay a guilty pleasure!
I love Darius nn Dare but that was also vetoed very early on.

Kerenza
Constanza
Angharad
Seonaid
Niamh
Aoife
Tsiporah
Valentina
Cosima
Theodosia
Anastatia ('..sha' not 'zha' ending)
Lida
Pernilla
Dagmar
Aphra

Clement
Conrad
Colm
Casimir
Cilian
Isaiah
Isaac
Isambard
Isidore
Thaddeus

Nectarios. As someone with no Greek background I couldn't get away with is, but I love it.

Just saw Amaryllis mentioned - Amaryllis and Esmeralda are beautiful names but I think they have to be consigned to guilty pleasures.

If I have another DD though, I'm using Esmeralda as a middle name (with a one syllable traditional first name). So I guess it's only a guilty pleasure as a first name!

I LOVE Dinah. It's so romantic!

Cleopatra
Lourdes
Loveday

Ezekiel
Israel
Cairo

King

My dh name is here! I love it because it’s unusual and a strong name.

Blossom ☺️

I love Dinah too, Pandarific, and you never hear it.

Gisela! Too much of a mouthful for others I think
