Guilty Pleasure names?

Happily Overwhelmed · June 2011

Anyone have names they secretly like even though you don't want to say them in public?

For some reason I LOVE the name Agatha. I wouldn't name my child that and know majority of people would cringe if I even joked about naming her that. But I like it...

Casper...too bad he had to be a friendly ghost

Awww... I like Eden too! I know a couple little girls with the name Eden. They don't seem to be a bit scarred.

Hayden for a boy, Bianca for a girl.

ames71 · June 2011

Utah (boy) and Tuesday (girl). Both fairly ridiculous, but I can't help myself.

conchgirl · June 2011

"Ursula" for me. husband would never ever go for it. i just always thought it would be cute. Sula...

mevans801 · June 2011

Otto.

Found out during our honeymoon that it's DH's great grandpa's name and immediately fell in love. Not sure why.

tcline · June 2011

I have quite a few. August for a boy, and Penelope, Shiloh, Sunday, and Tallulah for a girl. Embarrassed

SpruceGrouse · June 2011

Caolila (coal-isla), there is a good meaning behind it for DH and I and it is a name in Scotland, just would likely not go over well here.

I like "hippie" names, or names that have to do w/land or weather

Willow, Winter, Meadow, River, Sunshine

That being said, Rain(e) is not one of them. I hate that name.

taracovert:
Hayden for a boy, Bianca for a girl.

I like both these names too, especially Bianca.

sunnyday016 · June 2011

I really like Willow, Ivy, and Iris. I actually met a toddler named Iris this morning

I also love Alba since seeing Time Traveler's Wife.

CourtneyR2N · June 2011

Leonidas. My husband and I both liked it, but decided we couldn't do that to him.

Anna Leigh - because of the Family Guy episode where Quagmeyer names his kid that and will call her "Anal" for short.

taracovert · June 2011

LOVE Penelope.

I'm getting a new kitten this week, I'm naming her Tellulah, since I know I'll never use it for my children. Haha! My other cats name is Lola, another guilty pleasure name of mine.

EDIT--I was supposed to quote tcline...OOPS!

Mrkyrain · June 2011

Poppy, Summer, Raine, Autumn

Mable for a girl.

Norman for a boy.

kwinkle1980 · June 2011

Anatole...awful, right?

NewptNYbride06 · June 2011

Sailor for a girl! DH thinks I'm nuts, but I just love it :-)

I love Poppy!

Loganswife · June 2011

Thaddeus, I would never name my child that, but I just can't get it out of my head.

imnyke · June 2011

I am in love with the name Allegra for a girl and Bode(Bodhi) for a boy.

Sari323 · June 2011

Deirdre for a girl. Hollis and Holden for a boy.

EXL311 · June 2011

When I first saw your title my first thought was Agatha. Most older woman sounding names I really don't like. Agatha I just love. There's a small chance I would have considered using it but DH had a sister named Agatha who died at a very young age.

Conniebird · June 2011

Joy2611:
Lots of Greek mythology names: Ares, Antigone, Hera, Psyche.

I actually know a couple who named their daughter Ariadne Psyche, people either love it or hate it!

OP: Right now I really like Wednesday, as in Adams. Stick out tongue

silliestbunny · June 2011

Tallulah

JuneMagnolia · June 2011

Magnolia (This one is a guilty pleasure but is currently the contender for our possible DD's middle name)

soralette · June 2011

I also love those Greek mythos names... and "Dorcas". I could never name a girl that, but it's so pretty.

msm261 · June 2011

Imani and Noemi for a girl. Hays for a boy (Mom's maiden name. . .but too "matchy" since DS has my maiden name. . .)

austenreader85 · June 2011

Girls: Shenandoah

Boys: Boaz, Enoch

MAMAxB · June 2011

The first one I thought of was Sylvie. I'm not really embarrassed about it but I think it's beautiful (luckily DH and I have 5-6 other girl names we agree on)

I also love:

Olive - G

Clover - G

Killian - B

I love Poppy!

me too!

aubreysmom1 · June 2011

I tend to like "place" names...London, Holland, Brooklyn, Britton (Britain), etc. But, I can't bring myself to actually use them.

scorch · June 2011

I love Saffron, for a girl. Its the most expensive spice in the world , at 1800 bucks a pound, and since we did IVF to get pregnant, I figured by the time we had a 7 or 8 lb baby, thats the price we would have paid LOL. DH didnt go for it.

kerrymass · June 2011

Daisy. (A family name and I love the flower, but just can't imagine it on an adult)

Piper & Poppy. (Not necessarily bad names, but because our LN begins w/ a P, they shound ridiculous)

Pixiestx · June 2011

Girls: Glynis, Ione

Boy: Gage

I really thought about bringing up Glynis again for this girl, but I know DH would never go for it and I'm sure I would get tons of weird looks about it. I don't know what it is about the name that I like.

beloved09 · June 2011

I love the name Isolde for a girl. It's gorgeous, but I'd never use it because I'm sure she'd be teased that she "is old." Blah.

annabelleev · June 2011

My husband really wants to name our son (if we have a boy) Dillinger.

One, he already named out cat Dillinger, two, I'm concerned about the history of it as a last name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dillinger). His favorite band is The Dillinger Escape Plan. I'm not sure how I feel about it but I'm tempted.

ohmygoodness99 · June 2011

Rivers... like the singer from Weezer. LOVE it... but not brave enough to actually name my kid a hippy nature name.
