I guess Jack and Emma would also be GP names for me, because I love them but would never use them due to popularity.
Ariadne is not on my list, but I think it's gorgeous!
FKA mimi4347: diaper rash magician and unofficial expert on excrement
This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
Ever (last name ends in ER), Calliope, Luna (shhh, don't tell FH, he's really pushing for that as a potential name but we agreed to name the pets after constellations, etc and I just can't do that to our child), and Lark.
Asher and a bunch of other boy names ending in er, same issue as Ever. I also love Jefferson but FH is not a fan.
Girls: Blaire (only because DH hates it), Elizabeth (popularity), Birdie nn for Bernadette, and Daisy. Boys: Riley, Tucker (family name), and Jack (so popular).
Girl: I love Demelza. It sounds like one of Cinderella's ugly stepsisters so I don't think I'd actually use it, but I love it. Also love Kiranjit and Esperanza but I am of the wrong ethnic heritage to use them.
Boy: Darcy (reminds DH of a hockey player he hates) and Lachlan (sounds ridiculous with our last name).
Jasper and Maren. I would use Maren for a girl in a heartbeat but DS is Mason and it's just too close DH won't go for Jasper so it will remain a GP name for me.

All the names I love are GP names and family. Right now I want a girl named "Vella Ernestine" after some beautiful women in my family history. DH would never approve. He like nature/80's names.
