What's your "I don't care if everyone hates it, I still love it" name?

[WallabyWay]

I have several but Tycho and Ivar/Ivor are two of mine.

What are yours?

Tryphina but DH said no.

To be fair we used it for the cat who is known as Feefee, so probably for the best.

The whole point of having pets is so we can give them the names we wouldn't dare give our children. Like Gertrude, Giles, Lilith and Jemima. My children are grateful that they got solidly top ten English names, so they tell me. I still say my son would make a good Dudley, but he won't have it 😅

It's not my favourite male name, but I've never got why so many people loathe the name Nigel. I rather like it. Also Humphrey.

Paul
(So dated . . . Are you having a baby or an accountant? Guess he'll drive a Volvo then?)

Emerald
Dashiell

Marni
Beau

Love Story and Lysander.

My ‘pregnancy hormones’ names were

Mahalia (I think Miss Jackson, others thought chlamydia, gonorrhea, mahalia)

Loveday (not Cornish)

Justice (DH laughed hard)

Ottie

If ds had been a dd then he was going to be an ursula! So many people hated the name but I loved it so so much .

Caiaphas

Margot

Frances. Perfectly normal name but people seem to hate it. I love it. 2xDD and DH wouldn’t even consider it.

Isis

For obvious reasons... but its a lovely girl's name!

Gloria.

Fionnuala was my only choice for a girl, but I’m drowning in boys.

Norrie, Ennis or Jean-Baptiste for boys but stupid Dh felt he should have some say.

Lol, I knew everyone would hate my baby name so I didn’t tell anyone until she was born and already called it ;) muhaha, too late for anyone to argue about it then!

I couldn’t allow myself to call her Celestine, though. It wouldn’t have suited her anyway but it is the frontrunner for my imaginary second I’m never giving birth to.

Merryn - I love it and DH hates it. Hoping to use the emotional context of giving birth in a few weeks time to get it through. I am a bad person.

Daphne

Alaric

Idris and Heidi

Oh I met a woman called Merryn and she was lovely and described it as "Like Merry Christmas, but with an N" so I've always liked that name ever since.

Rosalind
raphael
both had the veto from DH

We were at the American football game last night for school and the girl that won Prom Queen was called Victorious. I just thought what a wonderful name and I love how many Americans don’t have all this angst over naming their kids and choose what they like!

Girls: Tyche, Terra
Boys: Leofric, Tyr, Fenrir

That’s a great name!

For a boy:
Bruno
Morris
Emile
Moses
Jeff

I have loads for a girl:
Karen - really not useable nowawdays, for obvious reasons.
Eileen
Marina
Manon
Stella
Delia
Gladys
Daphne (according to this thread!)
Leisel
Rita
Wallis
Wilma
Victorine (an unusual old family name)
Idony (ih-du-nee)
