My guilty pleasure is Stormy for a boy and/or Storm for a girl. I wouldn't use them, but I secretly really like them both...nor would I tell DH I like Stormy for a boy because I feel like he would really push to actually use it when/if we have a DS.
I love Azalea and Magnolia. I'd love to see others use them but idk if I will ever be ballsy enough.
I think I really like Azalea...
I've loved it for a long time. I wish I could meet one little girl named Azalea so it wouldn't seem so out there for me! I like it much more than Magnolia but at least a Magnolia can fall back on normal nn Maggie.

Azalea Jane is our number one girl name. We would probably call her Zae, but my mom is already talking about A.J. (I'm no where close to pregnant.)
I love Zae as a nn. I hadn't thought of it!

Avery for a girl. I generally can't stand trendy names, last names as first names, unisex names, the "Ava " trend. Somehow I just love Avery. I would never actually use it.

I know an Azalea. She is actually in her late 20's and goes by Azi. (Pronounced like Aussie)
Pepper Ann for a girl. (Yes because of the cartoon)
Seven "Sev" for a boy. I think it sounds cool, yet stylish.
I totes suggested DF about the name seven for our boy because it kept popping into my head! I joked that we would call him sevan (Seh- Vaughn) So that it would sound Mexican (LO is half Mexican) lol
We also both liked Castiel and I actually pushed for it, but now that we decided on a name I know that never would've happened.
We also might've named LO Storm if we didn't know someone with this name.
I know I have a couple that haven't been listed but I cannot think of them right now
My GP boy name is totally Ichabod. I just love it. I don't think I could ever use it, but it's still a favorite. I would consider it for a MN though. GP name for a girl would have to be Magnolia. I HATE the NN Maggie, so I will never use it for a first name. I would also possibly use it for a MN though.
Boys - Graeme, Liam, Ian, Aidan (I realize a lot of people would never classify these as "guilty pleasure," but my DH would never go for any of these - he calls them "Nigel names.")
Aurore for a girl ( that's the French version of Aurora) but I cannot pronounce it in English at all. Wolfgang for a boy, love it but not brave enough to use it.

I love Ichabod! And in the same grain, Ebenezer. DH and I both love Ignatius but can never decide if it's in the GP category or not. For girls, I love Elm and March (both are on the long list for this LO, so maybe they'll be real contenders). I also think Xanthe is great. I can't decide if I want to use Blake on a girl or if it's better left as a GP.

Girls - Luna, Willow/Willa, Wren, Skye, Savannah (pretty much anything earthy)
Boys - Graeme, Liam, Ian, Aidan (I realize a lot of people would never classify these as "guilty pleasure," but my DH would never go for any of these - he calls them "Nigel names.")
I can't think of any good girl ones now.
