Hi all 🤍

I thought this would be quite fun and interesting to do.. what are some guilty pleasure names you love? I'll start ..

Girl- Alaska
Boy- Koa

I'd never use these names as there just abit too out there for me and quite frankly, I don't even know if they are names 😂

@schoolsoutforever

Just use the crazy names. I’ve taught kids with most of these names in a fairly non-bohemian city and it’s no big deal. My kids also have unusual names,. I’d much rather be ‘one name’ than ‘name no 3’.

I love Seraphina, just love it even though it's long, frilly and not my usual style of name at all. I also love Clementine and Evangeline.

In real life I had boys, and if I'd had girls they'd have had short, neat names like my boys do.

I love gothic sounding names.

I'm quite surprised my late Dad's name has been mentioned.

I absolutely love Isis
Won't be having any more kids and could never use it anyway. But absolutely love it and feel sad that it'll will be unusable for a long time...
I love that it feels cool but still feminine. Great for baby and grown woman.
Oh well

Halcyon for a girl
Faraday for a boy

Yes, that is a beautiful name that might never recover its original meaning.
