What name do you secretly love but would never use for your child?

[CuppaTeaJanice]

For me it's Silas - it reminds me of the adventure programmes I used to watch as a kid. I think one of my first crushes must have been on a character called Silas.

I did suggest it for DS1 (vetoed by DP), but thinking about it I wouldn't want to call my son Silas and I can't really explain why.

Does anybody else have a name that they wouldn't use, but really like nonetheless...?

and Fleurdelys

I wasn't allowed Sebastian by dh!

All my best and most favourite names are spanish - no good now we've moved to Wales Top of the list were:
Maria del Mar (Mari-mar)
Mercedes
Rafael (ok, not so bad in uk, but we had a DD!)

minty

willow, Tallis and Rowan (but we had boys)

Reuben and Seth (too cold comfort farm )

Oscar and Felix (cat names said dh)
Zachariah

mabel......... i loved it, no-one else did!

fullmoon, I know two brothers called Oscar & Felix! I think they're both great names

But Dh was adamant. Mind you, he suggested Max which is a dog's name to me

I also loved Joel and Finn.

Miranda, Gaynor & Gillian

Finlay (my dh wouldn't have it) and Blair.

Finlay would have great with my surname. Top name imo.

Seth - reminded DP of Emmerdale
Rowan - name of our road

Lottie - DP hates illiteration and our surname begins with an L

Lola - until I actually listened to the kinks song...

love Mabel until someone says table
love Charlotte until someone says harlott...

twin girls on the way - we are not naming until we see them cos we argue constantly about it...

Honor - it was too cruel with our surname (not Blackman, but same sort of idea )

Rafe
Jayden
Elwen
Cassius
Caspar
Jasper

Petrina
Aurelia
Clarissa
Honey
Sienna
Miriam

Jeremy
Theo
Dylan (just cos exp vetoed it, I called ds2 something 'similar', but in my head sometimes, I call him Dylan)
Christiana

Morris, i would have loved a son called Morris.

Phoenix and Angel

My own name has been mentioned a couple of times Although I don't really know why as it's not that unusual.

Gabriel, Julian and I LOVE Ptolomy.

Instead the 3 DS have boring top 10 names. I am a bit when I come across pepole who have been brave enough to use them.

Ptolomy? How'd you pron. that then?

Caitlin, Phylidia, Lydia and Letitia

I love India but due to our unusual surname it would be a cruel and unusual punishment to name a child that. Oh and I'm not pregnant and our only DC is a boy.

Another Mungo-lover here. And Tristan.
We also have an unusual surname which does make it harder to give your DC too much of a unique name.
