What names do you LOVE but would never use?

[kittenpeak]

(And I don't mean you wouldn't use because there are close family members etc who have the name. I mean more that you absolutely love, but don't have the balls to use)

Mine is....

Demetrious.

I have known a few in my time and absolutely love the name, but not sure I could do it...

I don't understand the Clementine issue either, it's a beautiful name and you don't have to be any class to have it!

I met an extremely upper class elderly man who lives in a Manor House named Gary. You can’t make any assumptions!

Sunny (for a boy)
Galahad
Lear

Strange there's this opinion of Conrad here 🤔 It's gotten very popular in Denmark. I personally don't like the name but don't see the issue with it?

Agatha
Aurelia
Trixie
Beau
Keir
Elijah

Skylar or Skyler - would use it for boy or girl

Saxon

Rhodri

Hamza - would be a bit weird

Fenella. I'm overweight and worried she'd be also and be known as 'Fenella the Elephant'...

Atticus
Esmeralda
Lysander
Clementine
Isadora
Wilbur

@Rainy88 I think it depends on where you live. I've mentioned Clementine a few times in these sorts of conversations where I'm from, and been looked at as if I have two heads.

Where my OH is from, everyone says how lovely it is.

@blosstree I love the name and was thinking of using it but now I'm questioning myself with so many people referring to it as a brave choice!

Honestly use it! It's beautiful, even if people think it's a brave choice to start with, they'll get used to it.

Also - if you didn't think it was a 'brave' choice, chances are you live somewhere where it isn't regarded as such! I'm jealous so go for it

@blosstree I'm interested in the regional thing now...I'm on the south coast, how about you and your OH?

I'm from North East England, OH is from Wiltshire @Rainy88

Winston
Jethro (Jet) I love it but think I'd feel like a nob shouting it in the park
Milan (said as east Europeans pronounce it but in UK people would say it like the Italian city which sounds awful)

Augustus (Gloop)
Atlas (a bit too out there)
Brontë (as above)
Aurelia (sounds terrible in our thick glaswegian accents)
Adeline (as above)
Genevieve (mispellings and mispronounations would do my head in)

Iolanthe
Sounds so magical...always forget how to pronounce it though
Yo-lan-thee?
Yo-lan-tha?
idk

Bruno for a boy

Oh I love Isadora!

Phoenix
Atticus

Goldie, Echo, Honey

Alexa. Thanks Amazon 😒

Hortensia. I love it.
