A name you like but you feel is unusable

[LisaJohnsonsFacebookMole]

Stressing the you and the subjectivity.

I quite like Nessie but it's unusable anywhere that speaks English. Possibly even beyond 😂

Margaret / Maggie
Zinnia

Yes pronounced the aamw. I love the name it's so beautiful

Sapphira (the Bible story about her is chilling).
Same for Salome and Delilah.

Marjorie/Margery is pretty sounding, but the invention of margerine has made it unusable.

i loved the name Ari (pronounced ah-ree) for my second son but I knew it would be pronounced ‘Arry his whole life so I went for a safer choice

wouldn't change it for the world.

That's especially appropriate if one of them is Atlas!!

Those of us over a certain age would be completely unable to ever say/hear it without instantly hearing Frank Bruno saying "Know what I mean, 'Arry?" !

Same goes for Ariane, Arianna and Ariadne.

boy Dushko - foreign
boy Ridge - my own idea, but too way out, and probable nname 'Squidge'

girl Undine - too way out, and would probably get nicknamed 'undone'

Hades, I just love the way it rolls off my tongue but my husband would bever havw gone for it anyway!

Jolene. Tiffany.

@Happyinarcon she was a kick ass feminist. I have one 😁

Cnut

I love the Welsh names Geraint, Aneurin, Iolo (pronounced yolo), Aled, bur we have no Welsh connections so would be a bit presumptuous.

Jemima, but here in the States that’s a no-go. Also, Tatiana, because I’d worry she’d be called Tittie-Anna.

Knut is a variant, and not such a glaring anagram.

Damien. I think it's lovely, bit demonic though.

Brenda. I think it has a lovely gentle sound, but it just hasn't come around again and everyone would think it was really old-fashioned. (Not that I will ever have to name a girl, my childbearing days are over.)

Jupiter.
In my inner fantasy world I'd have called my daughter that. In reality she's got a lovely but regular name!

Would love to name a child something that used to be really popular but now gone out of fashion. Like Linda, Nancy, Gary or Richard. They wouldn't be one of 3 Isabella's in their class but everyone would be able to spell it.

Love the name Emmanuel but its just too dated. Also doesn't go with my surname at all.
