  Vladimir, Ambrose, Ansel, Anselm, Amadeus are some boy names I love but are too "out there" for use in the real world, according to my DH. I met a little boy named Suede and I loved it on him (yes, I know, it's not a legit name. Wouldn't use it but I love it.)
  
  Of your list, my faves are Roman, Dominic, and Reid. Dominic is a front runner for our baby boy coming in December.

  Adolf
  
  I love names that mean wolf and this is my favorite. Unfortunately it's too soon. There have been so many other Adolfs but no one in the US remembers them so everyone would hate me and feel sorry for my son.
  
  I love Wolf, Wolfram, Kurt, Dolf and Wolfgang too so I'm not too upset about it.
  
  I love PP's suggestions of Lucifer and Beowulf! I've thought about those before. DH suggested Grendel and Zera (planet if the apes) as GP names and I would never use them either but I loved his GP names too and I love that he thought of them.
  
  I also have a GP celebrity name. I love that Nick Cage named his son Kal'el. It was a dumb celeb-child-name thing to do but as a comic book fan I can't help but kind of like it. ">
  
  Oh wow this is embarrassing. It's called GP for a reason...

  My big gp name is Alvis. I love the sound and the meaning (all wise), but I am not sure I want to deal with people mistaking it for Elvis.
  
  Other GP boy names for me are: Neville and Hannibal (too pop culture referencey), Damien and Desmond (DH vetoed).

  My ultimate gp would be Ransom.
  If anyone has seen the man who shot liberty valance, that's where I heard it and fell in love.
  If I ever have twin boys I'm putting my foot down and naming them Roman and Ransom.
  
  My other love but wont use is Atticus. To kill a mockingbird is one of my all time fav books.

  Guilty pleasure that I'll continue strongly pushing for should at least one of these twins be a boy: Linus. It's my favorite boy's name, everyone's heard of it so it's simple to spell and pronounce, and it sounds great with our ridiculously common surname. DH keeps rolling his eyes and saying it's too dorky, but I think I might still have a shot.

  
  

  Guilty pleasure that I'd never actually use: Bernard. It's such an "old man" name, but I think a little Bernie would be adorable. Any time I even hint at it to anyone, though, I am quickly assured that I am in the minority here.

  
  

  Guilty pleasure that I like despite my better judgment: Bennett. It's trendy and it's surname-y, but I like it better than Benjamin. And if these are boy/girl twins, I think it goes nicely with my #1 girl name (Alice).

  Tucker...it's my late grandmother's maiden name, but I think it would be a hard name to carry on the playground.

  I know! It's such a shame, especially considering that it may be a mistake in translation that lead to the name carrying such a heavy load.

  GPs: Rocco, Wolfgang, Amadeus, Augustine... Not out of the realm of possibility I just don't think we'd have enough kids to warrant using them

  I knew a tucker growing up. Yes, there was always a good rhyme for it, but no one used it maliciously as a nickname, just as a joke.
  
  I love Torsten. We were convince to actually use it if we have a boy, but the reality of our hatred for the nn Tory was too overwhelming.

  Before we found out we were having a girl, I really liked the name Adrian for a boy. But my husband vetoed it for being "too feminine", haha. I also really like the names Atticus and Grant.

  If GP just means names that I love and DW would never, ever go for, then that would be a very, very long list. If it meant just names that I love but would not actually seriously consider for a child:

  Aragorn

  Feanor

  Fingolfin

  Glorfindel

  Spottingatheme?

  Belisarius

  Hannibal

  Hamilcar

  Rhadamanthus

  Florian

  Ashurbanipal (he was a terrible human being)

  Ashurnasirpal (so was he)

  Lucifer (it means "light bringer" - such a gorgeous name, such bad cultural associations)

  Ba'al

  
  

  
  
  
  13+ yrs ago when I had ds1, my roommate in the hospital had named her daughter Lucifer. She planned to use Luc (pronounced Loose) as a NN. I wonder how she is doing in middle school now....
  
  Omg. We were joking the other day about naming a girl Lucifer nn Lucy. I don't know how it came up but it involved siblings named Adolf, Cain, and Stalin.
  Poor kid!
