Does anyone else out there have names that go beyond guilty pleasures to downright bizarre? I seem to have three that stick out in an absurd way and just wondered if other Berries had any?
My three are:
[name]Ichabod[/name]
[name]Algernon[/name]
[name]Hildegarde[/name]
Hmmm… Kinky! Can’t say I understand. My idea of a guilty name pleasure is secretly thinking [name]Tayla[/name] isn’t SO bad. Another guilty pleasure might be secretly being tired of [name]Oliver[/name] (enough already!) or secretly thinking many boys’ name a touch pompous. [name]Sebastian[/name]?
Aside from those far more subtle guilty pleasure, I can’t think of anything outrageous. If I can I’ll get back to you.
I love the name [name]Navarre[/name] for a boy. I think I’m the only person in the world who likes it.
I also love [name]Christabelle[/name] and [name]Isabeau[/name].
Girls:
Loveday! [name]LOVE[/name] the name.
Chryseis
Boys:
[name]Archibald[/name] and [name]Edgar[/name].
You all are gonna hate me for saying this but I [name]LOVE[/name] Abcde for a girl :o
I also like Knowles and Mirakel(pronounced [name]Miracle[/name]) but I don’t think those are absurdly Guilty.
Wait! I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Christabelle[/name] and Isabeaux! My cat is an Isabeaux, call name Beaux!
Cumon. You are making up the Abcde for a girl, right?
No sadly I’m not 
I would NEVER in any life name a child that but the sound(not spelling of course) is cute, I know I’m terrible.
I’ve heard of Abcde too- it’s pronounced [name]AB[/name]-sid-ee- and I’m ashamed to admit I see the appeal too! I’m also a fan of [name]Jadon[/name]. Trendy or not, I like it.
Oh- and [name]Moxie[/name]! I once read an article that explained the choice of [name]Moxie[/name] Crimefighter, and maybe I was just in a very gullible mood that day, but I actually found myself liking it by the end.
I love absurdly guilty names.
I love Halo and [name]Nirvana[/name].
and can’t think of the others but I have plenty.
Girls:
Cunegonde
[name]Sunday[/name]
[name]Jemima[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name]
Boys:
[name]Aloysius[/name]
[name]Caspar[/name]
[name]Linus[/name]
[name]Columba[/name]
And of course, there are more!
Oh god, me too!!! [name]Theodore[/name]? [name]Silas[/name]? Gah!
At times it seems I ONLY like absurd names!

I love the name Halo!!
Oh wow, there are some great ones out there! I love [name]Aloysius[/name] and [name]Perpetua[/name]!
I realized I forgot to mention one of my other big absurdly guilty names for girls: [name]Antigone[/name]
I forgot one, and it’s probably the most ridiculous: [name]Nefertiti[/name]!
I like alot of [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] names, maybe not ABSURDLY guilty pleasures but I would never use them (at least as first names. Some I wouldn’t even use as middles though!)
[name]Sirius[/name]
[name]Remus[/name]
[name]Bellatrix[/name] (but the character is evil)
[name]Cedric[/name]
Albus
[name]Hermione[/name] (some people are actually using it, but I think for me it’s too closely tied to the character for a first name. Plus, I like nicknames for long names, and what are you gonna call her, [name]Hermie[/name]?)
Gilderoy (such a fun name)
[name]Lucius[/name]
[name]Minerva[/name]
[name]Parvati[/name]
[name]Pomona[/name]
[name]Ginevra[/name]
[name]Roux[/name]- so adorable yet so strange. I also like word names like [name]North[/name] and [name]Day[/name]. Would NEVER use them but I think they are cute none the less.
memomo: I also [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Andromeda[/name] and [name]Ernest[/name]!
Someone else has mentioned [name]Christabel/name, which is almost too gorgeous to use on a real child, as well as:
Girls:
[name]Avis[/name] (this would be somewhat whimsically viable if it wasn’t for that damn car rental company. now it IS an absurd choice)
[name]Cressida[/name]
[name]Sophronia[/name]
Corrinthea
Cellestia
[name]Geraldine[/name] (though this is growing on me - it was my great-grandmother’s name)
[name]Buttercup[/name]
Darling
Nymphadora
Boys:
Dartagnan
[name]Giacomo[/name]
[name]October[/name]
[name]Edgar[/name]

Blazer
…and so many more!
