Fantasy girls names......what would you love to have but never be allowed.....

[boodleboot]

i saw a brilliant thread that was the same subject as this but for boys.....interested to see what girls names we all love but not mad/brave enough to use....

i love Guinevere and Sheherazade.....i'm not even sure how to pronounce sheherazade and i still love it.....

Angharad (sounds crap with my accent!)

Serenity (given our family it would be like a joke name!)

Lita (lovely, but sounds just like litre)

Cassandra (Cassie)

I wanted aurelia pronounced or-ray-lee-a just love it but had a boy instead, and love him 1000x more

Serendipity

Snap boddleboot. I love Sheherazade ... but don't know how to pronounce it either!

I would also have chosen Dorothy or Barbara - but my dh didn't agree with me.

I know a Cassandra in RL. It's not that weird.

I like Elspeth but I know it's a proper old lady name and if you call a child that they will inevitably have a horrible lisp!

Sheherazade is pronounced more or less as you see it.

I absolutely love Ambrose- but DH thinks it?s too weird. I just can?t really imagine shouting it in the supermarket, but it?s such a cool name!

Sorry, posted my response to the other thread for some reason.....

Meant to say:

I love Aoife, Maeve and Seren, all of which DH has vetoed!

Zora after Zora Neale Hurston

Maya (but close friend got there first)

Also loved Aoife and Saoirse, but DH wasn't having 'tricky' Gaelic names

Sheh-HERUH-zahde?

Iolanthe.

Mine is not that way out but I love Stella ......

Unfortunately, DH has (had) a bit of a reputation for getting horribly drunk on the Artois version on a few occasions and I don't think we could get past the association

Elise - apparently people would think we named her after a trainer.

lourdes/lola - named after madonna's kid

lolita - 'peedo' film refference

blue - surname is bell.

Belle - see above.

Genevieve - he just didn't like it

ophelia - sounded rude apparaently.

Miranda, dh would laugh. He thinks of names like that being terribly English and we are Scottish.

None of mine are that weird, but dh vetoed them all:

Heidi
Meredith
Verity

are my absolute faves, but there ar eprobably plenty more!

Lettice

lockets - snap on Scout

I wanted to call a girl Tuscany ever since I was little - I never did, my girls have very ordinary, run of the mill names. I know it's a place and everything, but I just think it has a nice ring.

Apparently my dad wanted to call my sister Tangerine but my mum vetoed it, she was Catherine instead. He still thinks she would have ended up a popstar or actress or something with the name Tangerine!

Araminta

Melisande

Barnpot, that name (Aurelia) makes me 1st think of Sleeping Beauty (Aurora) which is a nice association, but then, sadly of the brown circle round your nipple....(Areola)...
