Names you love but can't/won't use?

Manderlin923 · May 2010

The board is so slow and I'm sitting here waiting for DS to fall asleep sooooo let's have yet another names you love but can't/won't (or don't have the guts to!) use post! Here's mine either because they sound bad with our last name or they're too popular for my taste, some because of the meanings:

Boys:

Joplin, Griffin, Connor, Drew, Spencer, Brennan, Lucas, George, Henry

Girls:

Lola, Cora, Juliette, Flannery, Clementine, Briony, Marianne, Odette, Ophelia

BrittKav · May 2010

Girls: Odette and Aurora. I can't use them because they're 'princess' names and DD already has a princess name (well, it's from a Barbie princess movie, but still). I wouldn't want people thinking I have a princess theme going on.

Girls: Asterid, Avery, Lilly, and Addison

Immogen-DH hates it

Farrah-now reminds me of annoying brat on 16 and pregnant

Tallulah and Olive. My DH hates them both.

Ruby - I love that name but I named my sweet darling boxer Ruby - and I secretly wish I could have saved it for my bb!

Matilda - Everyone in my fam (including DH) thinks it is horrible. I love it - with a nickname of Tillie!

Boys:

Michael, Samuel, Ari, Finlay, Gabriel, Malcolm, Wesley

Girls:

Isabel, Michaela, Jane, Scarlett, Clementine, Flannery, Adele, Kate, Claire, Dinah, Emma, Juliet, Lily, Delilah

All because my DH dislikes, except for Lily but we can't use it because one of our dogs is named Lily. Also, I won't use Delilah, even though I think it is a lovely name, because it reminds me of that hack radio personality whom I cannot stand.

krissyh21 · May 2010

Boys: Ryan, Drew, Bryce, Brendon, Nathan, Evan, Kyle, Chance

I love the name Autumn, but can't use it cause there are already way too many A grandkids in my family and it would just get confusing.

Keira - my favorite but vetoed by DH
Zoe - also vetoed by DH
Isabella, Alexis - too popular

Ethan, Tyler - too popular

I like this game!

Boys- Ezra, because DH hates it, Elliott, because it's my grandma's cat's name, Charlie, because it's my sister's dog's name, and Julian, because DH's name is Ian, and that's too close.

girls- Jane, because MIL is Jan, and that's way too close, Tallulah, because it doesn't go at all with my son's name, Clementine, because I fear that she would be called "Clem" and that's too close to phlegm. LOL

I sound like a psychopath. HAHA!

MelodyKate · May 2010

Ellie- my DH's ex

I can't tell you how many J names I've met that treat me or others horribly. I know it's our town, and not all J's are bad or anything, but ruined it for me. Boo.
