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 😂

Seems we have some guilty pleasures in common! I’ve always adored Lysander and Ptolemy. Horatio and Gideon are gorgeous also. I like Linus and Evander also.
My son has a very traditional name - along the lines of Benjamin or Edward. I often think I should’ve been braver and who bloody cares if anyone called me pretentious behind my back. Why do some names have to be pretentious anyway, it’s all nonsense.

Ptolemy and Coco

Shay

Posy for a girl. Ballet Shoes was a favourite book of mine growing up. I just feel it's too girly/feminine. If she was this tiny flower of a girl it would be okay but if not it wouldn't suit

Elspethelf · 02/03/2022 17:05

Mars for a boy. I live in the US so I think I could actually get away with it. Darling as a middle name for a girl.

Musmerian · 02/03/2022 17:07

Atalanta, Hero and Orestes. I’m Greek but even so it felt too much!

Wailywailywaily · 02/03/2022 17:35

I have a fantasy family who’s names are Gordon, Gilbert, Gideon and Geoffrey. The girls will be Gillian, Germaine, Gabrielle and Giselle.

I have no idea why I’m obsessed with G names at the moment.
I actually have two boys with unusual biblical names neither of which starts with a G!

moll14 · 03/03/2022 00:42

Alabama or Meadow for a girl and Neo for a boy!

Mumofgirls2017 · 03/03/2022 07:37

Boy- Titus
Girl- Thora

@CommonPrimrose

Keanu Seraphina
I have a Seraphina (Sephy) get loads of compliments!
Traumdeuter · 03/03/2022 07:45

@Wailywailywaily I love this fantasy but it’s a mix of hard and soft G sounds which doesn’t quite hit the same… trying to think of others!

You could definitely get away with that!

And Darling is a lovely name 💜

@Traumdeuter Godfrey instead of Geoffrey and Geraldine instead of Gabrielle? Hard Gs for the boys and soft for the girls Grin
