[name]Imagine[/name] you’re a celebrity, or an aristocrat, or even a royal ” and you can go as crazy, frilly, and over-the-top as you like when naming your baby, with multiple middle names, the names everyone else HATES, and all those guilty pleasures you’d never actually dare to give your child. What would you chose?
My list would be -

[name]Persephone[/name] [name]Olympia[/name] [name]Summer[/name]- nn Persy
[name]Araminta[/name] [name]India[/name] [name]Sierra[/name]- nn [name]Minty[/name]
it was hard as most names even the really outrageous (example: Joker] I’d actually consider using even as middle names.
Dracula [name]Bela[/name]
[name]Osiris[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] - love this
[name]Hermes[/name] [name]Atlas[/name]
[name]Poseidon[/name] [name]Apollo[/name]
Battle Disneyland - just randomly put together, lol
Calligraphy [name]Cleopatra[/name]
[name]London[/name] [name]England[/name]
just to name a few
Though I would consider using: [name]Bela[/name], Disneyland, and [name]London[/name] and [name]England[/name] but not together. [name]Atlas[/name] I go back in forth on.
I would love [name]Octavia[/name] [name]Rosamund[/name] [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Augustus[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]David[/name]. Not sure other than that though. Maybe [name]Gwendolen[/name] [name]Maxina[/name] [name]Iris[/name].
[name]Even[/name] if I was able to use my guilty pleasures, I probably wouldn’t as I like my “real” favourites better; but for the purposes of this question I’d probably go with:
I have a new guilty pleasure that I just can’t let go of – Promyse. I saw it while skimming through the top bazillion names and fell in love. I just can’t let it go! I even named one of my Sims Promyse.
Girls
[name]Decembra[/name]
[name]Persephone[/name]
[name]Oceana[/name]
[name]Echo[/name]
[name]Arwen[/name]
[name]Vespa[/name] (darn that scooter for making this unusable in real life)
[name]Sunshine[/name]
Boys
[name]Fox[/name]

The names that I love the most, are my guilty pleasures, I often wonder if there’s a tiny possibility that I might ever use those names, the ones that I adore, and I’m actually starting to think that I could.
They are very different though, which is what worries me, because, I, myself, can accept change, and names being unique, and something you might not have heard of before, but other people, can be very close-minded, which is quite sad
Anyway, here are the most beautiful names (to me):
[name]Wednesday[/name] [name]Silence[/name] - I think it’s a beautiful, slightly melancholic name, something you might’ve heard over a century ago.
[name]Laszlo[/name] [name]Explorer[/name] - It’s a name that I would love to use, but I know my whole family would say “It sounds like some sort of cartoon character!”
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Primrose[/name] [name]Grace[/name] - Perhaps it’s [name]Primrose[/name] that makes it that tiny bit less common, but that’s what I love!
[name]Elijah[/name] [name]Oz[/name] - I like the name [name]Oz[/name], not because of The [name]Wizard[/name] himself, but because of the town in Greece that I visited as a child.
[name]Indiana[/name] “[name]Indie[/name]” Tigerlily - I love [name]Indie[/name], (it’s my favourite music genre :P), and I think Tigerlily reminds me of [name]Peter[/name] [name]Pan[/name], which is one of my favourite stories!
[name]Mabelle[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] - If I were to ever name my child this, I would actually call her [name]Evangeline[/name], instead of [name]Mabelle[/name], but when you read “[name]Mabelle[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]” out loud, it sounds like “My belle, [name]Evangeline[/name]”, which is gorgeous!
At the moment, these are my guilty pleasures, but I always seem to come up with more every week!
Oh dear. My guilty pleasures have been vetoed a million times by the hubby but here they are,

Girls:
[name]Blythe[/name] (could probably get away with as a middle name, but I love it for its literary connection almost to a fault.)
[name]Everly[/name] (sounds made up and will probably go trendy)
[name]Nola[/name] (not serious enough, but oh so southern)

I love this! Guilty pleasure names are the best. Here are mine…
GIRLS
Leisel – Sound of [name]Music[/name]!
[name]Rilla[/name] – In honor of the oh so lovely [name]Rilla[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]! If only I could get away with it in the real world. Sigh
[name]Blythe[/name] – [name]Love[/name] the literature behind it and of course the meaning is so nice!
[name]Navy[/name] – I think I’m alone on this one…
[name]Truly[/name] – [name]Truly[/name] Scrumptious from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! I adore her. So cute.
[name]Story[/name] – Very cute but not a name I could use on a person!
BOYS
[name]Hart[/name] – Not manly enough
Yeah, I guess most my boys names are usable enough not to be on a guilty pleasure list!
I thought this was going to be about names you like in spite of yourself. In which case mine would be [name]Leila[/name] and [name]Anya[/name].
To answer the actual question…
[name]Astrid[/name] (have always loved this name but it doesn’t ‘go’ with my other favourites)
[name]Frances[/name] (very uncool but I’d still use it as a middle name…so probably shouldn’t be on here :roll:)
A load of ridiculous [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] names… [name]Narcissa[/name], [name]Draco[/name] for example :oops:
Oh and sickly sweet French names like [name]Angelique[/name]
