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...?

Lily, but too many little Lilies in the field now.

Also Gabriel for a boy, but would be worried about ponce factor.

Tabitha - oh how I heart Bewitched.

Another for Myfanwy.
Dh just wouldn't allow it.

Sebastian

Rafferty

Alf Price.

But our surname isn't Price, sadly.

Oh I love Arthur and Frederick

I really love the name Madeleine but owing to recent events I'm not sure about it now

Also love Hester and Harriet but we live in a French speaking country ....

Lol at Thor!

Algernon

Love Octavia/Octavius but would have felt a bit of a fraud if it wasn't my 8th child, and I wasn't prepared to have 7 others first just to name the 8th!!

Also love Gabriel but wimped out at the thought of teasing. Ditto My fanny. Sorry Myfanwy.

I have a neice called Bunty, it really suits her.

Everybody says how cute her name is too! I have a Mabel.... they go well together I think!

Love Jose (sounds like Ho-Say).

Idris.

Lavinia. And Virginia. Would actually use Lavinia but dh won't let me

Mrs Woolf, my two year old is Mabel too! Darn I thought I was unusual!

Flora.

But spreads easily I'm afraid.

Winifred

I love the name! If I were having another girl (I'm not ) it would have been Posie, I love that name too.

Dorcas . Intellectually, I know it's dreadful, but in my heart I love it. It's a good biblical name, too.

Evangaline love les miserable and Nanny
McPhee

Archie (was only put off by DP)
