We've had lots of posts lately on here about terrible/tacky/weird names. What ones do you secretly love?
If DH wasn't firmly against it, our twin boys would be named Rocket and Royal. Yep. I know most people probably think I'm insane, but I love those names.
It's funny because I'm pretty old-fashioned. My second choice names are Henry and George. (Can't get DH to agree to those, either.)
Ok ladies, your turn! Please keep it flame-free!
Re: What "bad" names do you LOVE?
Saffron with the NN Saffy
I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE x 1,000,000,000 Kelly for a boy!!!!!
i love clementine and juniper. not that i think they are really "bad" names, but once we started actually talking about them with our last name and with mason, our ds's name, they just didn't seem to fit. i do love them dearly though.
ps- i like saffron too!
DH and I both LOVE George. We also love Fred or Frederick. Plus side is that its a family name so we are "allowed" to use that one. For the record George is also a family name but its not as widely used in my family.
DH just said that if we do have a child named George Frederick (its a contender) that its for Harry Potter and not after the family. *sigh* He's my favorite nerd.

If you named them Henry and George you would have some pretty Royal twins! Two Kings!
I LOVE Clementine. If DH would agree it would be on our top 5 list!
DD has a dreaded "y" in her name! (GASP!) But- I have purpose! It's not just random, and I don't think it makes it terrible either! I chose the y instead of i because it just made sense to me. When we call her Addy, we spell it with a y, but where does the y come from if her name were Addison? I just felt like it made more sense. And being an Ashley myself, when I chose a popular name for DD, I wanted something to be a little extra special about it and not just run of the mill!
I also love the name Aiden despite popularity. I guess I am a top 100 name freak! This baby is going to be Avery which is slowly climbing the charts!
Out of the names mentioned so far, I love Saffron and Clementine, and I think Juniper could be really sweet.
I tend to like names that aren't even on the Top 1000 for the U.S. (not a bad thing in my opinion). We strongly considered the combination Seraphina Grey for this LO, and will probably use it for a future daughter should we have one. My mom was terrible about it and said she'd call her Fifi until it drove us crazy! I also love Lachlan for a boy, which is common elsewhere, but definitely not in the U.S.

Me, too. And I also love names like Sophie and Emma and I wouldn't hesitate to use them, despite popularity or opinions. (It helps that we're not sharing baby names until he's born. No opinions!) :-)

I am normally against unconventional spellings for traditional names, but a couple of years ago there was someone on a reality show with the name Ellenore, which I loved and thought was such a pretty spelling.
Normally I'm not a fan of the name Eleanor (just too old-fashioned for me), but I could see myself using the alternate spelling. People probably would think I was crazy for butchering a classic name.
Ditto to the boy names for girl names trend! My maiden name was Bradley and I have always wanted a daughter named Bradley.
I have noticed that people do not like the use of cities/places for names but if this baby were a boy his name would be Denver.
I LOVE Lachlan! It's on our list, but I doubt we'll use it since DS is Desmond and Desmond and Lach/Lock would be a bit too much LOST.
I love Seraphina. It's the name of a favorite restaurant of mine in my hometown. This was an option for us until Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner used it. Now I'm glad we aren't using it. The inevitable nickname would be Sara, and I'm not a fan of that name for my child.
I like the name but just cause of RH OC I could not name my son that.... but I do like the name...
clementine is my nick name since my last name is Clemens...
