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?

Magnolia, as in the tree with the beautiful flowers. I think people think of the paint colour instead, so doesn't get used much.

Also Contessa, which I think is really lovely but when I've mentioned it to anyone, they're not keen at all. Not actually sure why, maybe it's just a bit old fashioned.

They're still two of my favourite names though

Mumsnet hate: Trevor, Gwendolyn, Ursula

DH hate: Trevor, Gerard "Gerry", Linus, Saoirse

Lyric for a girl.

Horatio
Gaius
Rupert
Julius
Colin

Hebe
Angela
Susan
Octavia
Deborah

There are several lovely names on this thread.

Liberty. It goes horribly with my surname, so it was never a serious contender, but I've always loved it.
A pp mentioned Ivar, I love that too, but there are a few about where I live, so I don't think it falls into the hated category.
Also love place name, first names, but didn't go there either. Lincoln, India, Dakota and finally Mercedes (but not after the car!).

Rachel.
It is so 'clean'...

Indigo

Wella (cornish for William)

I know a little Hebe. It's beautiful and I think it's cute for a child and then will seem elegant and interesting when she's an adult too.

Diggory, but alas no boys.

Love the name Doris - was not allowed to use it!

I always loved the name Linnet from Green Knowe. L names don't work with my surname unfortunately. Those books were some of my childhood favourites.

Some of these names are SO popular on Mumsnet! I've never seen a bad word said about:

Annaliese

Clementine

Cicely

Moses

Manon

Marina

Every time these names are mentioned everyone loves them!

The names I love that everyone hates are Martha, Winifred, Ursula.

My dental hygienist is called Demelza!

My dd is Merryn and she loves her name.
I always wanted to call my ds Falcon but a big 'No' from Dh. I still love it though!

Eamon.

This is mine too! IIove it, if my youngest had been a girl this would be his name.

Araminta
Meredith

Gabriel
Inigo

Esmeralda

Kaiden. I was going to use it until I found out it’s got um associations. I just found it in a dictionary.

Talulah
Kenya
Vienna

Albert
Bernard
Demetrius

DH would never in a million years let me use any of them though.

I love a lot of these names! I know an Ivar, he's adorable.

And I LOVE Bianca too.

Leveret for a girl.

No-one likes it.

I named both Dcs after family members DH was very close to. Sometimes a bit sad I never got a proper vote on a name!

Both Cecily and Cicely

That's what I was coming on to say.

I'm not even Welsh but I just love it
