Names that aren't conventionally attractive that you love?

[PeanutBrittled]

I don't know if it's the hormones(time of month not pregnancy) but Prudence is beginning to have a certain charm. Somehow it seems adorable to me when I picture it on a little girl.

@MargheritaAndMargaritaPlease

Boy names I LOVE Hamish, Gregor, Angus and Fergus.

Not sure if these are not conventionally attractive...but I've heard rude things about them (all were in the running for my ds and we did actually use one of them)!

Two of my children have these names! 🤣

@MargheritaAndMargaritaPlease yes!!!! Angus and Hamish were both on my boy shortlist. I pushed SO HARD for Angus but DH would not budge, said he knew a boy in school etc, I managed to get him to reluctantly consider it as a middle name. Also got a hard no for Hamish, luckily I had a girl

Another vote for Astrid. There's just something about it!

[Luredbyapomegranate]

I quite like prudence

If you lay your prejudices aside I think Mavis and Enid are quite nice sounding, and since Mabel and Edith hand been revived I don’t see way they shouldn’t be.

[Elspethelf]

If I have a DD I intend to use the middle name Beverly. It’s my mums name and she hates it and tells me not to give it to a baby but I love it as a middle name. I wouldn’t use it as a first name as I dislike Bev, but said in full I think it’s lovely

[MayMi]

I've always liked Hans for a boy and Leona for a girl

Chris Tarrant used to do the Capital Breakfast radio show, every year there would be Dymphna day! People called Dymphna would ring in lol

[ChagSameachDoreen]

I have a soft spot for the name Courtney.

[Ravenclawdropout]

Gary because I has a massive crush on Gary at school, he had incredible eyes and was a total scoundrel. I treated him with aloof contempt of course to throw my classmates off the scent.

[KangarooKenny]

I like Ruben.

[GreyGoose1980]

Enid, Vera, Jean, June.

[ShirleyJackson]

Doris. It’s so cool. Also Jean.

[MarianosOnHisWay]

I like the name Dorcas… but it has the word “dork” in it 😂

We had neighbours called Hamish and Angus. We used to call them Hamish and Anguish.

[A580Hojas]

I love the name Trevor.

[bigknickersbigknockers]
