Come come! Share your guiltiest pleasure names...

[EverySingleStar]

Come share the names you, for whatever reason, wouldn't ever use, but love with a passion

Here are mine

Girls
Harlot (I KNOW, I know)
Rain
Dream
Ever
London
Paris
Noelle

Boys
Canyon
Baylor (cat's name now )
Rohan
Corbin
Caspian
Noel

I'm sure I have more that I need to think of

I wanted to call DD Noelle as she was born Xas eve, DH said no!

Oh I like Valentina too if she were born in Feburary

Zaccheus.
it's biblical and it really wouldn't work in RL

Jasper

dh would not let me

Oh I like Jasper but I used to take care of a little chap with that name so now it just has too strong connotations for me.

I love Gertie for a girl but DH wouldn't let me have it, he says she would get called dirty Gertie I still love it though.
Also love Violet but our surname starts with a D so thats a bit of a no no.
For a boy I love Caleb or Gabriel but DH hates them both

I like Violet and Gabriel too

Assunta. Sadly we are not Mediterranean enough.

Oh I would love to use animal names like Wolf, Tiger and Bear but I know they would go down as just too poncy (especially because of blimming Bear Grylls, bah). I wish using animals as names was normal in the UK like it is in some places. If I was German I could use Wolf no problem...

Gabriel here too - I really, really wanted DS3 to be called Gabriel - Dh hated it

I dream of naming my fictional daughter Ophelia....

i love Gabriel ; my friend has one of those.

i'm adding Cian to my list after another thread reminded me why i can never use it.

Gawd, there was a family in a US magazine not long ago who had triplets called Wolf, Grey, and Blue. They had an older brother called ---- Flash.

at EverySingleStar those names are actually quite cool, loving Flash! If only I had the balls (or be cruel enough!)to name my child something like that.

Oisinn
Taliesan
Finn
Gabriel

Grainne
Aoife
Aislinn
Mab

OH vetoed every one and so many more really good names. I was heart borken that I couldn't call DD Aoife Mab Grainne.

Stirling
Sandford
Prentice - from the Crow Road
Ramsay
Munro (hills rather than Marilyn)

Our pets have weird names! Our children's names are 'normal' ish.

i've been thinking a lot about this since i first saw the thread: gut instinct post...

I really, really love the name Charlotte (as in charlotte sometimes and Charlotte's web)
the big problem here is that my big sister is called Charlotte (and she's not as lovely as the name!) Now, don't get me wrong, I love my big sister, but she's really cocky and vain over some things and if I called my child Charlotte she would be convinced it's named after her (even though it's not, see above!) and would be really big-headed about it for ever. she'd ring up and say "ooh, how's my name-sake then?" or, "that's a brilliant name, it's just like mine!"
not in a neasty, bitchy way, but in a very "Charlotte" way.
it's not fair because i love it more every time i think about it!

My list
Jasper
Grey
Archer
Fisher
Giles

and DP's list is heavily influenced by professional golfers (this is where he gets all his naming inspiration)
Sergio
Angel
Seve
Soren
Henrik
Camilio

(can you tell that we are having real difficulty agreeing on a boys name)

I love love love Genevieve - not pronounced the English way - Jenna-veeve - but the French way - Jahn-vee-ev (with a very soft 'J'). But it's just far too poncy and no-one will pronounce it the way I want.

Ten10 - I love Archer for a boy!

Wolfgang, Sebastian, Guy

Oh my gawd this is embarassing

Nathaniel

What's wrong with Nataniel!! It's on my list!

BTW - TattyCoram is my mum's nickname
