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...?

puddytats after posting that many times i hope you're going to tell us what they are...

Calm down, pudytats!

Indigo.

i wanted angel for ds5 but dh would not

Rafarty Tiger - I loved it and DP hated it !

Janni - I have a friend called Pearl who has a twin brother called Dean! No kidding!

Anakin.

And I really don't understand the problem with Gabriel. What's wrong with it?

Anakin is cool! I think

Dh wanted Balin ( suposed to be all war-y and manly like???!!!) but I vetoed

Unnecessary really as we had dd's

Gaius.

I'm a Star Wars geek, but I love the name(Anakin) mostly because I really like the way it sounds.

Got seriously obsessed with Hector for DS.

And then, when I called him something much more boring, with Peregrine as a middle name.

Both veto'd.

For a girl, Mabel and Genevieve were vetoed in favour of Florence and DS was a boy. The names cast aside for a boy were, Seth (DH would say Seff ) Theo- same reason, Silas, (because of the horrible monk in that film) Reuben- too jewish according to DH (we live in a big jewish area and my grandad was jewish, so to DH) Sonny, Felix (the cat), Milo (the tweenies) and my absolute favourite was Wilfie after my grandad. It is also my dads middle name (wilfed) and he hated it so much through school and pretty much begged me not to call DS it. Went with Noah, which I see is on a fair few lists(he is nearly 2)

I love each and every one of those names Suwoohoo.

girls: octavia, aria, cadence in that order
boys: achilles, hero, phoenix

my dh also has octavia as his number 1 name that he loves and wouldn't call his dc...

we are pg with dd3 and we have nooooooo names that we really like....

For some reason when i post from my phone it goes mad and i post about 20 times! Sebastian and verity

DH has said Cadence every time! But our surname is a C too. I do like it though.

Scorpio - you could nickname her 'CC' sounds like a great idea

puddytats - I love both those names

Tiger for a boy
Fushia for a girl

Tallullah - dh laughed
Phoebe - dh said no, because of Friends
Amaryllis - dh said no-one could pronounce it or spell it
All for girls, obviously.

Just saw that someone mentioned Pepper earlier. I love that name so much.
