Although i would not describe my baby name style as extremely uncommon, i have a few guilty pleasures. I would be interested to know your opinion on whether they are to out there and what your guilty pleasure names are.
Girls
[name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f]
[name_f]Asteria[/name_f]
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f]
[name_f]Snow[/name_f]
Boys
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
Both of your boy names are very usable, [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. I happen to love the name [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]…then again, I am a [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] fan : )
On your girls list, I would say [name_f]Asteria[/name_f] and [name_f]Snow[/name_f] are more usable than [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] and [name_f]Sunday[/name_f]; however, the latter two would make for very nice, unique MN choices!
[name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] - very hard to live up to for any little girl, I’d scrap it
[name_f]Asteria[/name_f] - this feels like a mix between [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] and hysteria, however, it’s not bad, it does feel familiar enough to be usable
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f] - personally, I don’t like any Weekday names as first names, they’re used to often in daily conversation that I find it to be a bit awkward/annoying to always hear your name when nobody is actually talking to or about you
[name_f]Snow[/name_f] - also not one I’d use as a first name though it is a popular middle name choice on here - like with weekdays as names I’d find it a bit awkward to hear “do you think there’s going to be snow?” all winter.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - totally usable, it’s actually relatively popular already
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - also usable
Your boy names are usable along with [name_f]Snow[/name_f] and [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] but I agree [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] and [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] are more GPs than usable
The only one that seems too out there to me is [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f].
Girls
[name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] - I consider this too out there; parents who are trying too hard.
[name_f]Asteria[/name_f] - To me this sounds like hysteria.
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f] - I’d think this is fine, even if it is more quirky-uncommon.
[name_f]Snow[/name_f] - As a middle I think it’s cute, but I’d never name a child that myself.
Boys
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - Very common on Nameberry. I wouldn’t flinch at it.
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - Also, not very uncommon. I happen not to be a fan of it though.
