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...?

Sydney could be also used for a girl, as in Alias the TV series.

Willow
Tara
Anya

I wasn't allowed any 'Buffy' names

yorkiegirl

my mate had a friend called Byron

they were from Rotherham

his cat was called Miranda

Michelle

I think it's a really pretty name,sadly with bad connotations.

Gabriel adn Julian - like them both but would probably not use them (well, hjaven't actually!)

I always liked Malachai and Seth also Ophelia, Octavia, Thalia. Dp in all seriousness wanted to call dd Lucretia lol. I also like Lenore, Lilith, Iris, Lydia and Althea, actually Ramona is nice too.

Jesse was our brave boy choice. Still felt nervous about it right up to labour and was pretty relieved when had a girl. Hadn't told many people beforehand since knew what the reaction would be.

Real fantasy choice would be Amadeus.

fruitstick, my Mil is a florence and dd has it for a middle name, Mil hates it with a passion though.

Ha, have read thread now and see I'm not alone.

I like Evangeline

I had lots of names I really liked, my ds has a lovely middle name, I wish we had just named him that, but I just couldn't face the reactions

Angus
Nechtan
Caithluan
Finnuala

Ichabod
Thomasina

I love Yestin for a boy, but I don't think DP is all that keen on it. I also loved Seth but friend put me off by reminding me of Seth Dingle.

Felicia.

Was on my list right up until Skoda stole it.

Bastards.

saskia
verity
perdita
imogen

Lara
Lilly
Lulu
Laurie
Lennie

not good with surname

Balthazar
Isambard

Jude for a boy but dh thinks it's girlie and Scarlett Honey for a girl DH thinks pretentious. DH is an arse sometimes and wanted Matty or Matilda coz he is Mathew.

Lots of Star Trek names are gorgeous but it would be too obvious!

Also I like the P names from Charmed but have a neice called Paige so that would be too obvious now. I was pregnant at the same time and it was on my list but SIL was ahead of me.

Also Leroy Dh thinks it's ethnic and Liam/Leon cozDH likes Oasis / Stone Roses sorry for battering dh on here but we have differnt name views.
I don't know why but I love Francis for a girl.

Kitty, Lula, Betty, Fenton, Finlay, Arriety, Frankie, Sonny, Sunny, Harley, Bailey, Renton, Dyfan, Nancy, Tallulah, Kieron, Evan, Owen, Erin, Maxwell, Pippa, Cressida, Louis, Mollandra. Theres plenty more where that came from.

Elvis
Tallulah

Flora. I lobbied hard but DH couldn't be swayed from his margarine objection.

Valentina

I loved Seth too.
