i was thinking… i really don’t have an guilty pleasures, because i really just like a lot of names! i would use blossom for a girl, and fox for a boy, names that would seem crazy (at least in my circle).
i also have a really big crush on made-up and wilder word names… which is what this post is about.
i thought i’d share this list for those of you like me who secretly would bestow these names on a child (if anyone would let you)! and for the rest of you, i hope you get plenty of inspiration for your future cats, dogs, plants, and maybe lizards (or whatever pets you like).

i hope you enjoyed these lists! i’d love to hear your favorites!
Honestly many of these don’t seem too GP-esque to me! [name_u]Kace[/name_u], [name_m]Royston[/name_m], [name_u]Pierce[/name_u], [name_m]Kannon[/name_m], [name_m]Smith[/name_m], [name_m]Eames[/name_m], [name_m]Bowman[/name_m], [name_m]Ransom[/name_m], [name_m]Truett[/name_m], [name_m]Rubin[/name_m], and [name_u]Corbin[/name_u] wouldn’t seem that strange on real boys. Same with [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] and Marabella from the girls list.
Personally, [name_m]Truett[/name_m] and [name_u]Golden[/name_u] are the two I would consider for real children! I also have [name_m]Cannon[/name_m] with a C on my longer list but would hesitate to use it in real life.
i love cannon! the only thing that would make these names gp for me, is that i feel that some of them could be traced only to this generation… sort of like the names jayden and scott.
I like [name_m]Rubin[/name_m]! [name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_u]Pierce[/name_u] too, I wouldn’t even consider them GP. I see the problem with [name_m]Ransom[/name_m] but honestly, a lot of people are using it regardless so whatever
Evienne is so pretty! Can’t believe I’ve never seen it before. I also really like Veiya, Ezri(e), [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] and Avisa.
The unisex list is much more GP imo [name_u]Evren[/name_u] is my favourite, followed by [name_u]Arrow[/name_u] and Ashwyn.
Oh, [name_f]Poetry[/name_f] is delightful. Poésie is on my GP list (French word for poetry), as well as [name_u]Poet[/name_u]! I think that whole trio is just divine. I’ve also got [name_f]Daffodil[/name_f] atop my GP list! She’s so beautiful, so spunky and natural. Absolutely sweet, and [name_u]Daffy[/name_u] is such a fun nickname.
[name_f]Wyndy[/name_f], [name_f]Winry[/name_f], [name_u]March[/name_u], and [name_m]Fate[/name_m] also caught my eye. So pretty. I particularly love [name_u]March[/name_u] (Little Women connection to please my infatuated heart— I love that).
This is such a fun list!! One I think maybe you’d like is Faithie. Cutesy nickname that I call a [name_f]Faith[/name_f] in my life and just adore! x
[name_m]Rook[/name_m]
[name_u]Keats[/name_u] (okay, it’s my guinea pig’s name but I would have considered it for a kid)
Knoxly
[name_m]Ransom[/name_m]
[name_m]Truett[/name_m] (I’d use it!)
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u]
[name_f]Cascade[/name_f] (so cool and gives you [name_m]Cas[/name_m], [name_u]Cay[/name_u] and Cade!)
[name_u]Evren[/name_u] (such a cool meaning)
[name_u]Zenith[/name_u]
[name_f]Poetry[/name_f]
Ashwyn
[name_u]Coast[/name_u] (actually encountered a sibset [name_f]Breeze[/name_f], [name_u]Coast[/name_u], Harbour and Blue!)
[name_f]Clemency[/name_f] (so cute!)
Dainty (read a book with a character called Dainty and it grew on me)
[name_u]Solstice[/name_u] (love it!)
[name_u]March[/name_u]
Ezrie
[name_f]Winry[/name_f]
[name_u]Golden[/name_u] (I love the brightness of it)
[name_m]Fate[/name_m]
Cozy
[name_u]Robin[/name_u] for a boy is so adorable!! In a similar vein, but obviously way more out there, Cardinal would make a really cool name! I’ve never thought of it before, but I liked seeing it on your list.
And, from your girls list, these are on my gp list, too: [name_f]Clemency[/name_f], [name_f]Bindi[/name_f], [name_f]Daffodil[/name_f], and [name_f]Peonie[/name_f] (though I prefer [name_f]Peony[/name_f] myself) – love seeing appreciation for them!
Marabella is gorgeous! I might be adding that to my list… <3
these are just lovely! i actually know a raewyn, so imo it’s perfectly usable!

[name_u]Evren[/name_u] is my favourite, followed by [name_u]Arrow[/name_u] and Ashwyn.
I’ve also got [name_f]Daffodil[/name_f] atop my GP list! She’s so beautiful, so spunky and natural. Absolutely sweet, and [name_u]Daffy[/name_u] is such a fun nickname.
I particularly love [name_u]March[/name_u] (Little Women connection to please my infatuated heart— I love that).
also loving rook, truett, evren, coast, muse, evienne, azalea, and roe!
