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...?

Agree with Moonlight I love Lolita

Septimus- DH says No, but I adore it!
Rufus too- but DH cannot pronounce 'R's very well

Cecily Margot - DC2 is going to be a boy, and there won't be any more after this one!

I love Gabriel, Noah, James (significant ex) and Lucien ( I love, DH not so much), all boys names I wasn't allowed to use.

I know a Clementine and she is utterly beautiful.

My DS2 is at the childminders with a Rufus, it is a fab name!

Orlando!

Myfanwy

Sidney but Dh and everyone else forbids it! but I just love it!! pregnant with number 2 right now dont know if boy or girl still yet but if a boy would really love Sidney! lol
Toddler hip- good taste!

Manon, Miriam, Morfydd, Arianwen, Octavia, Eluned...so, so many...

Between you, you've named most of DS's friends!!!!!

noah and lazarus

Marcie

PS. I also love Ramona Ivykaty

A few of these are on my names list, although you have put me off Benedict! I love Miriam but she was very annoying in Sons and Lovers.

DS1 is called Fred so Florence and Rose have been removed from my girls list!

Sharon

I wanted to be Sharon K., my friend when I was 7 and I've always liked the name despite everything.

Indiana

Loved it, but it was just to wacky in the end to go with the rest of the family!

I still love it but couldnt ever use it.

I admitted on here to liking Cressida and was told it was off-the-scale of ponciness. Also liked Meriel till I told one friend I liked it and she mocked it.

Would have loved to have used a Cornish name (Morwenna and Columb would be my favourites) but dh having none of it.

Djuna
Pepper
Annie
Arlo

Primrose

Shit, DS2 is Benedict

AAh well, he will rise above, he is obsessed with his "Bendy Dick"!!!

Elvis. Great name, but too connected to Mr Presley.

Milo

Ooooo Pepper is a FAB name Miyazaki.

But I would never use it

And I've always loved Arnold.

I've always lurved Daisy, but I'm not quite sure why I wouldnt use it...in fact I've no idea why DD isnt a Daisy

Cecile - dh's ex girlfriends name. really like it although it does mean blind in french!!!
