What names do you love but wouldn't use

[inmyslippers]

I went for a very safe name for my son. But looking at him now he could pull off Rio which his dad wanted to call him. There were others I loved but felt unfair to saddle a child with

Shilo
Hudon
Shay
Franklyn
Carter
Lorenzo (we have strong northern accents and it would sound ridiculous)
Carey - due a come back
Tate
Ira
Silas

Lenore but every time I’ve ever mentioned it I have had people say, like the fabric softener.

Also Tui, nut now the travel agents have taken it.

Ooh … mine would be:
For girls
Calendula
Scully (Wanted this since I was an x-files loving child!)

Verity

Mars, Banks and Oxford as boys names. I find boys names just a bit boring and these three names so cool. I’d never do it though

Lucrezia
Valentina
Amadeus

Petronella and Jessamy but couldn't persuade DH!

Miriam. Sounds ridiculous with my surname.
Also Cateline. Just too weird and would have a lifetime of telling people how to spell and pronounce it.
