Boy- 

Maddox, I would totally use it if DH would let me. 

Jaxon, love NN "Jax". Hate that I like that spelling, would NEVER actually use it. 

August- nn "Gus". Great name, DH won't do it, I'll probably use it on our next dog.

Girl-

Winter- It seems so sweet but still classic to me but DH would never go for it in a million years. Maybe as a MN.

Coraline- This one was actually on the list for sometime. Worried that we would get "Caroline" a lot though.

I have the most bizarre infatuation with the name Tiffany, it's probably my guiltiest guilty pleasure because it's completely incoherent with my general style, totally out-of-date trendy, and viewed as tacky/trashy by a lot of people. But I adore it. I blame Terry Pratchett.

My biggest male guilty pleasure is Octavian. It's soooo over-the-top (guilty) and incredibly Roman (guilty and pleasure) and utterly badass (sheer pleasure).

This is too funny. My step daughter who is 3 has a classmate of the same age named Tiffany. I busted up when I was told this and asked if she had a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends. But the funniest part to me, is that we live on the Mexico border and this little cutie's second language is English. Maybe it's trending down south.

I only have GP girl names for some reason:

Bellatrix
Everly
Indie
Jewel
Luna - I keep pushing for this if we ever have another girl. I think it sounds great with Gemma! DH doesn't agree... Yet.
Story
Waverly

devanela

Boy: Quentin or Reve
Girl: tea (Tay-a?) and Harper/Harlow
Sigh...never happening

Alyssa7012

Mine would beeeeeee....

Ryker - I know, awful. I just cant help but like it

Lorcan - dh hates it

Aeryn as a spelling choice..for a girl. I saw it spelled this way when i was young and it just stuck with me

I love names like Ianthe, Katica, Kaethe, Deyanira, Liesl, Narcissa, Eris, and honestly I love Chimera as well...but wouldnt use any of those for one reason or another.

There are more I am sure, but its too late to think.

ColeyCannoli

Oh man, I love this thread.

Girl: Clementine (I blame the Walking Dead game), River and October (any months really)

Boys: Finn and August

Side note: I changed my name from Tiffany because I loathed it growing up. I also hated everyone knowing exactly when I was born because of that stupid name XD

EXL311

Boys: Ocean and Storm  (I joke with DH that we should have twin boys and give them these names.)

Girls: Winter and Skye

Aly226

Boys:
Dante Alessandro & Diondre (so over the top I know but I just love the sound them) I also love the name Dayton but would never actually use it.

Girls:
Since reading through this post I've fell in love with the name Winter. I also love the name Alaska (I blame the author John Green)

Love this thread

janneann1127

I love Gunnar. I would never use it and I could never get my H on board but I dig it.

wineandcake

My animals have GP names: Sullivan, Vedder (not ever a name, but DH talked about it for a dog so long that I started thinking it would be cute on a baby) and Maverick. I would never ever use them on a human, but they work for my pets.

And Archer. We're into archery so it would be absolutely ridiculous to use.

For girls: Mona, I love it but I can see her being made fun of (last name rhymes with Corn and starts with an H).

Dorothy - wouldn't actually use it, but it's so cute and I have great associations with it because of my old lady patients.

Waverly - I met a little girl with this name before and she was so cute that I fell in love with the name, not something I would ever consider using.

MissyCee

Nicolae (pronounced Nick-o-lie) for a boy

Winter for a girl

mustloveerica

Oh god I have so many. I'm going to have to adopt more pets just to save my kids from these names...

Paisley
Tuesday
Harlow
Daisy
River
Stormy

Well it appears my sons will be safe since I couldn't think of any GP boys names haha.

AmberJeanne1993

Jayden Maddox is my first son and I'm really trying to convince DH to like October Michelle if this one is a girl. I just love love love these names.

femmepink

Millicent. Everyone IRL side-eyes me when I say it. Luckily, DH likes Millie so I think it could be reality someday if we ever have a girl and are brave enough.

Also, Celine. Yep, Dion reference is too strong.
Poppy.
Winter.
Dolly. LOVE.
Rowan - on a girl. Eek.

I have no boy guilty pleasure names. Okay, maybe Fox. Because of Fox Mulder.

Alyssa7012

@EXL311‌ There is actually a photographer named River Clark who has a twin brother named Ocean. I believe the full names are River Phoenix and Ocean Alexander but I can't remember completely.

sundaesprinkles

Flowery Names: Marigold, Iris, Magnolia

80s names: Lindsay, Courtney, Whitney, Brittany, Jenna (Vanessa and Sabrina too but they are actually on my list)

Other randoms: Athena, Lindy, Ava (way too popular, #1 in my state!), Tallulah, Autumn, Blythe

GP we might actually use one day: Delilah

Boys: The only one I could think of is Sawyer

PinkDahLia44

Girls: Ryan, Calico, Jovie
Boy: Finnick (it's a made up name in THe Hunger Games)

Also, we named our cat Nicholas and then it turned out I kind of love that name. So I would consider giving my son the same name as my cat.

Anne Mommy

I love Albert for a boy. It was my grandfather's name. DH hates it because it reminds him off Fat Albert.

emmy236

Girls:
Piper - love it but it was the name of our favorite bar in college
Brighton - no idea what I like it
Elodie - my husband can't say it so it's out
Quinn- love it on either gender but ever since Daria, I love it.
Harper- TKAM was my favorite book

Boys:
Grey - we have a G last night
Sebastian- sounds like we're trying too hard
Finnegan- sounds like a 19th century Irish hooligan with our super Irish last name.
Johan- I'm Dutch/German so it's a common name but no one can pronounce it here.
Etienne- loved it in French class
Diego- not a drop of Spanish blood at all.
I also like almost all family last names on boys. We used one and plan to use another if baby #2 is a boy.

carrieharry79

brooklynesque I love Sloane, too! Personally, I don't really think it's a GP name. Sloane would be a badass.

AZMommy1234

Mine are not very "out there" but here goes, if I can even remember-

Boy: Rhett (Gone with the Wind was one of my favorite books)
Girl: Aurora with the nn Rory, Tessa (sounds silly with our LN), Nicholette, Bryony

I feel like I have so many more but I can't think of them!

belle072

Names that I love but wouldn't use as a first name:

Delphine, Seraphina, Magnolia, Iris, Poppy, Violet (lots of flowers apparently),

Sebastian, Hamilton, Frederick, Lawrence, Leonardo (not Italian), Giuseppe, Giovanni, and then "Southern" names like Davis, Owen, and Carter. I kind of even like Huckleberry, nn Huck. I know, shame. I also like Campbell nn Cam.

TKO86

London or Windsor for a girl... DH doesn't like Windsor but is considering London.. Except we have a SUPER Eastern European last name...

hmf87

GP names ...

Dakota for a boy, Primrose for a girl.

When I was younger, I fell in love with the name "D'Artagnan" from the three musketeers movie. Thought it was the most manly, amazing name in the world. I always said I'd name my son that someday. It didn't end up going with my married last name at all, otherwise I might have actually considered it.

I know one. He goes by Dart.

Mine are Rio for a boy and India or Noor for a girl. Also Indigo or Inigo. I have an I thing apparently.

I also know a D'Artagnan who goes by Dart. He was very happy when I was able to pronounce his name in class

I know a Rio who is a girl. But Rio is all boy to me (I blame Jem).

I forgot about my love for October with the nn Toby for a girl.

SoulTermination

GP female names: Saoirse (Irish or Irish Gaelic, which we aren't at all, pronounced "sear-sha"), Jodelle, Jaciel, Clarissa, Sterling, Allura, Seychelles, Haven, River, Autumn, Sierra, Sienna, Celerity

GP male names: Tobias, Courtland, Jacinth (NN Jace), Micah, Octavian, Maximus, Verity... think I'm forgetting a few.

I just have a couple that are über-French names for girls:

Sabine (sah-been)
Ninon (pronounced nee-noh)

DH's family has French Canadian in it, so it's not totally weird to use French names, but our last name is very German so besides them being hard to pronounce, they would sound very odd with our last name.

bleusimp

I've lost the battle, but I still want to name this boy Harbor Ryan. His due date is pearl harbor day, and his great grandfather fought and was a pow in WW2.

My girl name is Siona Yvonne.

naflmj

Beau and I guess it's not really a GP because if DH let me, I'd change our last sons name in a heartbeat.
