Do you have an bizarre favourite name?

[unruly336]

My absolute favourite name for a girl is Story. Absolutely love, love, love it. I just know I could never use it in the first name spot for obvious reasons. I was just wondering if anyone else has a favourite name they’ll never use?

Hepzibah - love this name, but virtually everyone else cringes!

Ditto - Kizzy, Kezia or Keziah

Or Annunziata

The letter 'Z' would appear to be a common denominator!

Annunciata

I’m loving all these names I just wish I had the guts to use them!

I’ve seen Nova mentioned here, I met a elderly lady called Nova a few months back and she was fabulous. Really made me consider the name, I’m just always concerned about being judged but that’s just a reflection on me really.

I have known of a Tia Maria and a Bacardi.

I’m pregnant at the moment and every single name I’ve suggested so far has got a response so far

Some of my favourites:
Dorcas
Caliban
Wednesday
Atticus
Bronte
Apollo
Hades
Naby

Not sure if these qualify as bizarre, More almost never used where I live;
Petula
Cosima
Odessa
Inez

Trystan spelt that way
Bluebells and raphaels a plenty too.
Gabriel also popular.
A lively name honour beatrice. Its shortened to "honey bee" which i think is divine.
Know lots of Felix's and a phoenxn a caspar yoo.
I thinkbthese ate all totally standard names bit juding by the list do far i think i might fall nto the category of knowing a few more unusual named people than is normal? I dont know. Ill have to fish out my son's year list from school.that has some mind benders on it. Amongst mostly oscars, henrys richard williams hugos etc there are some unexpected more wild ones. The girls are rather creative too.

I like Sage and Holland for girls names.
Probably just as well I had boys.

I have an Edgar :) We get lots of compliments on it. He is sometimes Eddie.

I LOVE Myfanwy (we aren't Welsh) and Hephzibah. INSTANTLY vetoed by husband.

@Susannahmoody Turing was half on my list when pregnant with DD

@Ritascornershop I so love Cosima!

DP likes Hildagard or Brunhilda... I like Hilda

Hades? As in the god of the dead?

@ThankYouHunkyJesus

Hades? As in the god of the dead?

Yes I wouldn’t, because logically I know it’s stupid, but I do really like it if it wasn’t the name of the god of the dead it’d be a nice name right?!

St John (I like the proper pronounciation but would that happen?)
Hester (would not go with my alliterative surname)
Lupus (medical condition but could imagine a nice name for a boy )

@CaffiSaliMali

Trystan (spelled intentionally wrong)

Trystan isn't wrong - Tristan is an anglicised spelling of the Welsh/Brythonic name Trystan.

In the legend it says he is called Tristan from ‘triste’ because he had such a sad start in life.

I love Aélis and Hildegard for girls (can you tell I did medieval studies!). Also Zinnia and Linnea.

Tatiana

Fawn and Ptolemy.

December or Hebe for a girl. Hebe especially but it doesn't work at all with our surname so I had to choose something else when DD was born.

Orion or Fievel for a boy. Had to give up on Fievel when making a potential baby name list as DH cannot stop himself from adding 'Mousekewitz' on the end every single time.

I am watching 'raised by Wolves' on Sky and i adore Campion and Tempeste

I love the name Judas !

Some of my favourites:
Dorcas
Caliban
Wednesday
Atticus
Bronte
Apollo
Hades
Naby

Its not the sounds of the names themselves that are bad, it's the association.

I mean, Dorcus. To a 90s kid like me, tge association is dork! And Caliban!! A, monstrous slave. I had the same proem with Regan - like the sound but will always be associated with an 'ugly sister' gauging someone's eyes out or The Exorcist.

I love Renoir for a boy, but yes wouldn't ever use it!

Astrid
Wolf
Wilder
Wednesday
Theodora
River
Penelope

I love Calico, I would never use it but think it's cute!
