Words that would be lovely names if they didn’t have their meaning

[neonheart]

Mine are:

Rubella
Chlorine
Brioche

Im sure there are more?

Isis

I think Candida was a name - Candy was short for it.

I quite like Ulna!

Genitalia

Cellar Door.

I worked with a Candida, she'd be in her 60s/70s now.

That is exactly how I said it in my head as I typed it 🤣🤣

Uterus

Haemorrhoid (nice variation on Hamish).

And when you really manage to block out the meaning, Anus could be really cute.

Clitoris. Can’t decide whether it suits a boy or girl though. Clit or Clitty for short.

Sinus
Ephemera
Mezzanine
Isosceles
Lintel
Arcade
Galaxy

It is common in some African countries to name one's child a word one likes the sound of. My relative knew men called Carburettor and Limited in Zambia.

Lots of medical words make great posh kid names 😀

posh twins Polio and Pellagra
girl twins Anaesthesia and Asphyxia

also Typhus

I’ve always thought Varicella would be a nice name.

I know a millennial Isis. It’s a beautiful name!

Catheter

That’s beautiful - like a form of Genevieve.

Candida just means 'white' though, it's only cos it's thrush that it's frowned on. Actually Thrush is a good name, if we can have Wren then why not Thrush?

Nice variation on Catherine

Dildo?

Porphyria and Influenza

Porphyria is gorgeous.

And Flu would be really cute as a nn

Ira

My daughter had a friend called Candida at primary school in the 80's

Dolores

Vibrator

Twins Agony and Anarchy

Cirrus and Nimbus

I’m thinking along the lines of Penelope and Cressida, which made Pessary spring to mind.
