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 😂

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

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.

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!

Ignacio for a boy and Albetine and Indiana for a girl

Phoenix
Hunter

Juno, Luna, Tahlia, Raven

Phoenix

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.

Clover, Daffodil, Dove, Meadow, Athene.

I love River for a girl but I got Vetoed 😒

Also love Fleur for a girl

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

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.

I have an Oslo - never come across another one!

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😊)

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

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

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.

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.

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

Also found DCat's

Hernandez
Gabe

Ottilie, Penelope, Clementine, Remy, Florrie

Otis, Hunter, Jasper, Curtis

Attila
Hector

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.
