Tell me the names you wouldn't be brave enough to use

[spice3]

Always my favourite baby name lists.

The names I love but are too out there (even for me who's child has an unranked name) to use:

Boys:
Nemo
Zeus
Rubeus
Sherlock
Tokyo
Woody

Girls:
Bambi
Dolly
Birdie
Baby
Queenie
Pepper

Major guilty pleasure names my DP barely let me finish the sentence when suggesting these ones although I wouldn't have been brave enough to use them anyway 😂

[Magicmama92]

Kai. And arya. I love them but I'd neve use them.

[SimonJT]

My own! I’m Pakistani, my original name is shared with someone very well known for all the wrong reasons. Oddly enough I changed it as soon as I could.

I gave my son a ‘brave’ name, it couldn’t suit him anymore.

[Beautifullymixed]

I wanted to call my daughter Coco. Such a cool name I thought. I had a boy, then another boy.
My grown up children assured me they were never going to call their children that ghastly name - so I named my dear cat Coco instead. She has never complained!

[Crunchymum]

Ignacio for a boy and Albetine and Indiana for a girl

[LochJessMonster]

Phoenix
Hunter

[4yearsnosleep]

Juno, Luna, Tahlia, Raven

Phoenix

[Eleanorbellanor]

Clover
Tigerlily
Pilar (pee-larr)- wouldn’t really sound right in the UK
Belén- I love this but she’d be teased with ‘bellend’
Proserpine

I LOVED Tristan, Casper and Jasper but my OH decided that they were too ‘poncy’ 🤷🏻‍♀️ He wanted Paul, Mark or John.

For a girl I loved Cassidy, Jemima, Lucinda and Felicity. He liked Megan.

Needless to say, we had to compromise...

I really REALLY love Atlas and Artemis. Not sure if I'd be brave enough to use either of them, but I probably won't get a chance to find out because my boyfriend doesn't like either...

Some other names I wonder whether I'd be brave enough to use: River (for a girl), Roman, Grey, Aspen...

I did also see someone on Facebook had named his son Odin - such a cool name! I don't think I would be brave enough with that one though.

[Elllicam]

Clover, Daffodil, Dove, Meadow, Athene.

[l12d04]

I love River for a girl but I got Vetoed 😒

[l12d04]

Also love Fleur for a girl

[boringbertha]

I have a Venus (dd) not come across any others except for the obvious one.

[charliesweb]

I've always loved Mercedes but didn't use it because I didn't want my daughter named after a car. DH and seriously considered Ozzie for DS1 but weren't brave enough sadly.

[stalab]

I have an Oslo - never come across another one!

[saveallyourkisses]

Girls -
Luna
Piper
Elowen
Aurora
Juno
Tigerlily

My DD has a floral name. She's feisty and fierce and actually would be able to pull off Tigerlily, but I'd never be brave enough to use it. I absolutely love Piper and but DH has always had his heart set on our name choice and as I also love the name that was decision made.

Boys -
Elijha
Cassius
Hendrix
Maverick
Sebastian
Jude
Diego

I have two boys and neither have a name on this list, although with my youngest I did actually choose a name that's a little more out there - Rupert - so I'm obviously getting braver (I love both my boys names though and they couldn't suit them more😊)

[Welshy545]

Meadow, I loved it when pregnant with DD, husband wouldnt even entertain it 😂

[coffeeandbiscuittime]

@HalfBloodPrincess my cat was called Hecate , love the name.

[user1573334]

All of my children's real names always crop up on these posts . But there were a few even I wasn't brave enough to use, but love. Elmo, Nemo and Icarus.

[CatteStreet]

Boys: Orlando, Amadeus, Wolfgang
Girls: Melody

Bit of a musical theme going on, it seems!

I think Candida would be an utterly beautiful name, were it not for the yeast infection.

[mumsiedarlingrevolta]

Have come on to find DD's name and was not disappointed.

Also found DCat's

[feelingchange]

Hernandez
Gabe

[newreality1]

Ottilie, Penelope, Clementine, Remy, Florrie

Otis, Hunter, Jasper, Curtis

[DeeAndMe]

Attila
Hector

[meetthewildes]

Most of mine have been listed. We have Balthazar, Lysander, Embla, Olympia and Vita. I do think that they suit their names.

I would love to have Oberon, Ariel and Percival, and Demeter, Antigone and Calliope.
