What are your guilty pleasure names?

[Mamadooley]

What are your guilty you wouldn’t even bother suggesting 😂 mine are.

Lavender
Bluebell
Sailor
Scout
Shiloh
Forrest
Ophelia
Olive
Penelope
River
Rusty
Navy
Sylvie
Sunday
Tuesday

Rainbow for a girl... i didnt use it as it felt a bit hippyish but secretly wanted too :)

@Changechangychange…that’s a real shame that you think that the name is tainted because of the hospice….imagine having a child there . Demelza is a name and the hospice was obviously named after an amazing person with that name!

Tallulah. Was desperate to use it but we definitely aren’t posh enough to carry it off!

Griff
Rupert (not crazy I know, but I'm v boring)
Fabian
Valentine
Konstantin

Im not sure if you were kidding @PukkaP but either way Hovis is an amazing name!

Ariel

January as in January Jones from Madmen

Mary ( it's very pretty but I'm lapsed catholic so it wouldnt feel right)
Eithne (dated but I love it)

Banana

Atlanta or Atlantique. I'm not a footballers wife though so couldn't use them.

Also I love Raphael but we have the most British sounding surname, it would sound ridiculous! And I hate Ralph or Ralphie so would insist on the full Raphael being used everytime

Gabriel and Jesse.
I love the names we gave but I’ll always love these x

Leopold
Hamish
Mavis
Solomon
Aurora
Adelaide
Telly
Kojak 🤣
Sullivan
some of these are quite normal names just not brave enough to use them myself!

Merlin
Isolde

Summer
Susannah
Lexi
Ophelia
Maddie
Willow
Hallie
Poppy
Pip
George (for a girl)
Nathaniel
Jackson
Caleb

Love all these names but weirdly I just can't bring myself to use them!

Ooh I love Shiloh! Why is that guilty pleasure, it seems quite usable to me? Mine would be Salve. Really wanted to call dd6 this and DH kept saying ‘er shall we wait, shall we wait until we see her and see?’

Looking back it is absurd since our other kids’ names fall into the ‘sensible’ category, so it would have been something like ‘here are our kids Thomas, Hannah, Joseph, and Salve.’

Also Tallulah and Vivi!

Actually I think loads of these are super useable - especially Jackson, Susannah, Maddie etc. They’re all just normal names! No guilt for those.

Also love Sullivan but it would be horrible in the local accent where I live.

Blythe 💕

I have a Sullivan, he's 8 and loves his name. We don't live in UK and it's not weird here even though he's the only one on island.

Other boys names would have been:

Griffin
Maverick
Vaughn
Dalton

None of them are that "out there" though, I know a few Griffins, 2 Mavericks, 1 Vaughn and an adult Dalton!

Athena
Isolda
Iseult
Alison
Demelza
Bartholomew
Julian
Dorian
Raoul

@Eloise666

Rupert and Jezabel

Rupert is our first choice for a boy haha

Ziggy

Bjorn

Always fancied a Norwegian name and Bjorn Borg was well known so thought this was an obvious choice. Ended up with classic, safe names. Love their names, but still feel a bit regretful at not being more adventurous.

Wednesday
Aslan
Esteban
Anjuli
Bunty
Calypso
Capability
Vangelis
Noor

(some of these would be fine I think if I was from a different country).

I LOVE Maud but my husband gave it a hard veto. Maybe if we get a dog
