Almost all the constellation names:
Lyra, Leo, Andromeda, Caelum, Arcturus, Orion, Sirius, Draco, Cassiopeia, etc
Others:
Tuesday
Cedric
Isabella .. why did Twilight have to ruin such a pretty name??
James .. I can't use this because the sibset of Lily and James sounds a bit incestuous
Names I love that I can never use due to my last name:
Henry
Jack
Max
I plan to use Her.mione as a middle name should this baby be a girl though, which is definitely a guilty pleasure name.
Murphy
Mackenzie
Seraphina
North
River
Parker - for a girl
I normally HATE boy's names on girls, or last names for first, and everything else this breaks
Lola, Delilah and Tallulah. They sound awful with our last name, which is kind of like Lowell.
Atticus and Juliet. These would probably get a side eye since I'm a high school English teacher.
Persephone
I may be way off here, but do you happen to be a fan of Jaquline Carey? A lot of those names are in her books.
Caolislay (pronounced coal isla)
Saffron
Fitzgerald (I am too afraid to ask for opinions on it) I actually could see myself using it, not sure though.
Cedar
Roscoe...nn Ross
Hugo
Lux
Astrid
Mercy
I always loved this name, but after Michael Scott (from The Office) called her "assturd", it ruined it forever for me.
Emma Kate - born 10.16.03 @ 29 weeks, weighed 1lb 13oz and 13.5" long.
TTC #3
Ezekiel though we did really consider this for a while because I love the NN Zeke. In the end I think it's just a little too far out of our comfort zone.
D 2.20.2011 & Z 7.16.2013
LOL. The Office ruined this name for me too!
Ariadne! I love that name and tried to convince DH that we use it this pregnancy. He said it was too out there.
It actually could work though, especially with the more common nickname Aria.
Also love Rory and Rowan.
Artemis
Ares
Poppy, Pepper, Penelope, Jasper
Obviously I love alliteration, particularly with the letter 'p'.
And silly side note, I was actually really excited when Kourtney K named her daughter Penelope, cause I love the Kardashians, and it made me feel like at least one of my guilty pleasure names wouldn't "go to waste" -- whatever that means, lol.
I love Ryker and Hudson!
