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...?

Lazlo

Since I was a teenager I have always loved Gabrielle and Lily for a girl and Aiden or Austen (massive Jane Austen fan) for a boy. DH vetoed all four.

Richeldis

Rahab

Aurelia, Delilah and Gabriella. DH vetoed them all so we are going with Charlotte (Lottie) for DD2.

Humphrey... there's something cuddley about it!
I called my bump Humph, to looks of horror from everyone, but luckily it turned out to be a girl

Chester - DH says any child with this name would just be called 'Chester drawers'.

Salome - you can't really name your daughter after one of the world's most famous courtesans!

Draco

damn you JK Rowling!

Rebus!

Allegra and Tabitha

Humphrey for me too, I love it so, so much!!! I adore the name Tallulah for a girl!

Hank

Tiger Lily and Otterlie.

I didn't even have the guts to suggest them out loud when I was pregnant :o

Ariadne.

I went to school with loads of these names...a Dashiel(Dash), Ulysses, scads of boys with Jesse, Gabriel/Gabe, Thadeus... this was in the US though if it makes a diff...

I guess we were brave and went for what we loved...Emmett. we did get asked if we named him after Twilight. NO. Most people loved it though.

Not sure if we are brave enough but love Gus.

Oh i went to school with a Honey also. I hguess some people are brave...

Oh i forgot...my maiden name was anastasia. Will use as a middle name if i ever get a dd.

Elise
Alicia/ Lucia

Crispin and Rufus for boys (my ex H said they were too poncey) For girls, Guinevere (too poncey again) and Thalia (brother nipped in with that for my niece)
