Name you loved but it was just too quirky?

[Greengreen88]

Is there a name you didn’t use because it was just too quirky or “out there” but still love?

I loved Starr, Juniper and Skye, DH vetoed! (Don’t even think those are that quirky, tbh.)

Tigerlily but wouldn't do it to her!

Oh gabriel is not very out there at all, but ex is very conservative with a small c (one of the reasons we are very incompatible ;) ) . I loved it so much. But DS and DD have good, strong, very unusual names so it all worked out ok in the end.

I wanted Hepzibah but was vetoed!

Francoise

With no relationship to France it was too out there. I called one of my DS's teddy the name instead!

Dionysia and Araminta

Oh, and Nectarios for a boy. I'm still so in love with the name and I'd probably use it in the future if it wasn't for literally everyone I've told about it mentioning nectarines...

A trio of children that go to my granddaughters nursery are Red, Blue and Yellow. I have only ever met Red and Blue though.

Suebnm are Red, Blue and Yellow siblings or is it a coincidence???

I'm saving this post for ideas - so many of these names are on my list 😂

FWIW I'm a teacher and while we do have a smile (never unkindly I feel I should add) at some of the more unusual names, when you actually get to know the child they don't sound so silly. They become a person not a name.

It does make it difficult to choose your own baby names though 🤔

Peppa and Deacon were on my girl and boy lists for DC2

Wren
Teddy
Sarabeth
Ophelia
Persephone
Juniper
Indigo
Euphemia
Forrest
Clementine
Aurora
Artemis
Anastasia

Teddy, Aurora or Clementine are not unusual or quirky imo...!?

Love Adriadne, Phyrne, Ophelia and Lorelai for girls.
My DH liked Quade for a boy. I liked Xavier!
We have a Aurelia and Dhruv! Oops very outing.

Reef

Some lovely names on here.

I also liked the names Ace and Devon.

Daphne
Ruben

Mowgli

Sky, skyler, skylar (not that out there!)
Rain, Raine
River
Tigerlily
Bluebell
Blossom

Loveday. But I’d use it now. (Was1980s).

Digory. We loved it but it didn't work with our surname at all to use as a first name. Used it as a middle name though and glad we have!

@mumtobe1984 my DD’s name is on your list. I went through a similar “should I/ shouldn’t I” but we did in the end and I’m SO glad!

I desperately wanted River for DD2 but with our surname, it sounded like the river XYZ. We went with Rain for a middle name.

Lumi is very beautiful and very similar to DD2’s name.

Anemone for dc1. I would totally have gone with this if people on here hadn’t stopped me .
Narcissa for dc2. He turned out to be male, so escaped it, but it turns out it would have suited him SO much

Ignacio for a boy and Albertine for a girl. Also loved Indiana for DC2 (who is a girl)

Mine all have classic (common-ish) names.
