What are same of the names you like but could never use? Or feel tempted to use? I like [name]Claudia[/name] but I couldn’t use them name because it was going to be mine all because of the movie interview with a vampire. And it would be so cute to have three girls April , May, June. Oh and I love the name Taylor, I know most berries are against, as it is both a last/occupational name and a dated unisex name. But even though it really doesn’t go with all my other favourite names, I just love it!
Well, my guilty pleasure names are fine on their own. The problem is that I like them together. I just think [name]Rose[/name], [name]Lily[/name], and [name]Violet[/name] are the sweetest sister names. But I would never actually do that!
I seem to have a ton of GPs but I can never remember them when it counts, lol. I like:
Orchard (not very namey, I suppose, but it reminds me of [name]Orchid[/name], which some people would use on a girl)
[name]Orchid[/name]
[name]Sonata[/name]
[name]Gypsy[/name]
[name]Poet[/name]
[name]Delilah[/name] (love its sound and the nn [name]Lila[/name], but the Biblical associations put me off too much!)
[name]Zenobia[/name] (love it, but it’s way too out-there for most people to accept, and I can’t really seem to make it work as a MN. I absolutely love it, though!)
I really like the name [name]Luna[/name] Song. I would never actually use it, but there is a big part of me that thinks it’s awesome.
That’s so funny, I just watched Interview w/ a Vampire today and it made me think about [name]Claudia[/name]! I also like it because of the Babysitter’s Club books!
Another name would be Jovienne. It would honor my mom and I love the sound, but I’m not sure I could really use it…
I love [name]Zephyrine[/name], and the nn Zephy.
To me a name is a guilty pleasure when it is against everything you stand for in a name, but for whatever reason, you can’t help but like it. For instance, I don’t like the whole surname as firstname trend or boy names as girls names, but there are a few exceptions that I cannot help but like:
[name]Afton[/name]
[name]Bellamy[/name]
[name]Bronte[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name]
Greenlee
[name]Harper[/name]
[name]Kimber[/name]
[name]Piper[/name]
[name]Waverly[/name]
I second [name]Zenobia[/name], and also [name]Persephone[/name], [name]Hermione[/name], [name]Cliona[/name], Eponine, [name]Guinevere[/name], [name]Portia[/name], and [name]Ophelia[/name].
Flower names that hubs think are crazy!
Azalea, Tansy, Belladonna, Violet, Nolana, Begonia, Jonquil, Linnea, Bluebell, Silverbell, Boronia, Dahlia, Freesia, Gardenia, Saffron, Goldenbell, Laelia, Sage, Iris, Larkspur, Juniper, Laurel, Heather, Flora, Camellia, Lilac, Acacia, Magnolia, Starlily, Marigold, Lavender, Orchid, Diantha, Pansy, Daisy, Poppy, Hazel, Dahlia, Protea, Chrysanthemum, Petunia, Carnation, Primrose, Liatris, Tulip, Bellflower, Willow, Aster, Zinnea, and Wisteria.
I know a lot of them are silly crushes, some are useable, and some DH has even budged on, but all in all they are just little name crushes. My top ten flower names are Orchid, Begonia, Starlily, Tansy, Wisteria, Azalea, Marigold, Willow, Zinnea, and Aster. But that was hard to pick because I love some of the others just as much, lol!
Oh my gosh @hannah-banana I love [name]Orchid[/name], [name]Freesia[/name], [name]Wisteria[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Laurel[/name], [name]Primrose[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Juniper[/name] and [name]Dahlia[/name]!!! They are all gorgeous and would make such lovely, unexpected names. Maybe I should consider some for MNs…
Leonielee - Go for it! I would love to meet some little ones with these names! There was a post about Tansy yesterday and I was so excited, lol.
I know a [name]Begonia[/name] and a [name]Dahlia[/name] (both here in Mexico). [name]Iris[/name] is a great name.
My guilty pleasure names are all of the overly cutesy variety! [name]Kitty[/name], [name]Honey[/name], [name]Babe[/name], [name]Bunny[/name], [name]Lucky[/name], [name]Sunny[/name] & [name]Sally[/name] (a bit more usable)…
I also like [name]Lou[/name], [name]Frankie[/name], [name]Charlie[/name] and [name]Beau[/name] for a girl…so cute, but I would never actually use them! And I’m not that into longer girl options for any of them either!
I really love both [name]Henrietta[/name] and [name]Georgiana[/name], but both seem a bit fussy… the main problem, though, is that it is like [name]Henry[/name] and [name]George[/name]! I think I could use one, but not both!
Another name I love that is totally a guilty pleasure is Stellaluna, like the bat from that children’s book! [name]Lord[/name], I’m a dork but I think it’s so gorgeous, but totally in the realm on the unusable!!
Mine are virtue names! I love them, but I only know people with virtue names that exude the opposite of their name. I know a clumsy [name]Grace[/name], a depressed [name]Felicity[/name], and a pessimistic [name]Hope[/name], so I couldn’t ever use an actual virtue name.
They are [name]Noble[/name], Wise, [name]Sage[/name], Brave, [name]Amity[/name], [name]Prudence[/name], [name]Felicity[/name], Zeal, and [name]Loyal[/name].
[name]Just[/name] remembered another one I’ve liked since I was really young [name]Tiger[/name] [name]Lily[/name]
I second (third) [name]Zenobia[/name], [name]Diantha[/name] and Stellaluna (any [name]Luna[/name] name) as first names, [name]Honey[/name] as a middle name, [name]Bunny[/name] as a nickname. I also really love [name]Ursula[/name] but it seems no one can see past The [name]Little[/name] Mermaid, and [name]Sunny[/name] would make a cute nn for Sunniva. I have a thing for celestial names, too - [name]Andromeda[/name], [name]Cassiopeia[/name], [name]Aries[/name], [name]Vega[/name]. [name]One[/name] of my favorite names ever is Caspera.
@hannah-banana, love most of those! Belladonna, [name]Begonia[/name], [name]Freesia[/name], [name]Sage[/name], [name]Juniper[/name], [name]Heather[/name], [name]Lilac[/name], [name]Acacia[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Lavender[/name], [name]Diantha[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Primrose[/name], and [name]Wisteria[/name]. Also love Plumeria, nn [name]Plum[/name].
I second [name]Wisteria[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name], and [name]Andromeda[/name]!
[name]Siddalee[/name]
Lulamae
[name]Hestia[/name]
Shenandoah (the only remnant of my childhood place name obsession)
Gemstones, but not [name]Ruby[/name] or [name]Pearl[/name], which are pretty normal. No, my love is for [name]Amethyst[/name], [name]Topaz[/name], [name]Opal[/name], and [name]Emerald[/name].
