Baby Names

What are your guilty pleasure names

What names do you wish you were brave enough to use? If it were guaranteed that their name would have absolutely no negative impact on their future life, never get picked on, get their dream job, and have no troubles whatsoever, what names would you use?

For me

Tuesday Evan (girl)

William Shakespeare

Re: What are your guilty pleasure names

  • Mable for a girl.  I realllly wanted this one for DD (it's DH's grandma's name) and everyone I mentioned it to looked at me like I was insane.  I think it's adorable.

    Norman for a boy.  My grandpa's middle name, but I know in my heart it's too dorky.

  • Ever and Winter for a girl

    Paris for a boy 

  • Anastasia. It's just a little tooo.... something for a baby. Which is a shame because it's always been my favorite girl name and I'll probably never get to use it.

  • Summer is one of mine too! I also secretly like London and Mercedes but would never use them.
  • Allegra.  Stupid allergy medication ruined a perfectly good name!

  • Autumn and September.  Not sure why, but I love them.  I met a girl named September ~15 years ago and always thought it was the coolest name.

  • My sister loves the names Ruth and Deborah but she says that since she was a cubby kid she refuses to use them as names for her kids. She would never forgive herself if they were cubby like her and got called "Baby Ruth" or "Little Debbie."

  • I really love German names for boys like Wilhelm and Henrik. Something about them is so much more appealing than their English counterparts, ie, William and Henry. DH and I both have mostly German ancestry and a German last name, so we could pull it off but I'd feel kind of weird doing so, seeing as we were both born in the US and never met our relatives who immigrated here from Germany.

    Not that I think having these names would impact my kid's future in anyway, I just think it would be kind of odd for Phil and Lauren to have sons named Wilhelm and Henrik. LOL

    Mercedes for me too! Also, like another pp, I am apparently a nature child at heart too. Love names like River. Have a family member who named her son Forrest, and I am a tad jealous she had the guts to do it. :)

  • Sadie for a girl...but hubby had a dog named Sadie growing up so that is outta the question lol
  • Mercedes, October, and Athena.
  • Eleanora.  I love it, but anyone I've mentioned it to (including DH) is not on board.  It makes me super sad that it won't get used now.

  • Aven (boy or girl)

    Elin (stupid Tiger Woods drama) 

    ETA: forgot to mention Paolo and Matteo....neither DH or I are hispanic, so it would probably be a little odd

  • I loooove the name Priyanka. But it wouldn't make sense culturally.

    I also really adore the names Wesley and Preston. Wesley was my HS BF's name though (although I liked it before I met him, thanks to one of my mom's students), and Preston doesn't work with our last name.

    LOVE these two.

    I really like some bird names, like Lark and Wren.  While I'm not completely opposed to using them, they wouldn't sound right with my DH's last name.

  • Carrick for a boy (Irish fairy prince), and I love Arista for a girl (it's a record lable, and I'm a HUGE music fan!) Or Bama, because that's Dave Matthews Band's clothing line, Bama works, but then people would think I'm naming after the president! All Greek mythology names are freaking awesome too.

    Just read the sticky, and it's funny to me because, while some names truly are unusual, I know a lot of people with many of those names! I guess everyone has very different comfort levels and perceptions of what is "out there" or appropriate for a person's name.

    I love September for a girl!!  I also love Alabama for a girl.  I love, love, love Abraham for a little boy.  It's probably my favorite male name ever.  Too bad I'll never use it.
