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.)

@mininionsteve I know an Oberon. He gets Obi for short.

I love Kizzy.

Pandora

How on earth do you pronounce Ptolemy?! I just want to say phlebotomy

Alpha (girl)
Aoibheann - love the name but couldn’t do it to DD2 with the spelling. DD1 has a Gaelic name but much more reasonable
Loveday - I’ve liked it since I was a child reading Meg and Mog

Ptolemy is pronounced tollermee
I also really liked Oberon and Felix!

Tarquin! genuinely think it's an awesome name lol

God, Dodie is awesome.

I loved Titus but worried it would be shortened to Titty or Tits. I couldn't do that to a kid!

Or TightArse even, the possibilities for pisstaking are endless sadly.

Tobias

Morven
Merlin
Brodie

At least 2 of the names on this list we loved but didn't use for kids. Did use for subsequent cats though as a way to use them!

I love the name Jancis.. it's from a favourite book of mine but she comes to a sticky end in the book so I couldn't bring myself to use it.
