Mine aren’t that out there, really.
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u]. I’d actually REALLY consider it if the last name wouldn’t be stew@rt, since they’re too similar in beginning sounds. I absolutely love [name_u]Sterling[/name_u].

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. There are days I’m like YES I would totally use it, and then other days I can hardly entertain the idea because I know my family’s reaction!

I have a pretty long list… some are perfectly fine names, but I still feel vaguely guilty at the thought of making a kid live with them. Others are pretty controversial gender wise. Still others are stuffy, or have too strong an association to be useable. One or two are misspellings or mispronunciations I can’t seem to let go of… I feel the worst about these - I don’t want to be cre8tive! I can’t seem to remove them from my list though…

Enjoy - maybe you’ll feel better about yourself :wink:

[name_u]Skye[/name_u]. The reason this is weird and wild is that our last name is [name_u]Walker[/name_u]. If they weren’t making a new [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars trilogy, I would seriously consider using it, but it’ll be too relevant throughout the next generation, and too cutesy-cheesy.

[name_u]Loki[/name_u] is another odd name I’m seriously considering. The only thing I really have against it is that I can’t think of any good sibling names that would work well with it. And I guess that my husband keeps giving me that “Oh, not this again” look whenever I bring the name up.

32

[name_m]Balthasar[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucifer[/name_m] (…yeah.)
[name_m]Apollo[/name_m]
[name_m]Percival[/name_m]
[name_u]Valentine[/name_u] (For a boy. I keep it on my list for a middle just because I love it too much to relegate it entirely to GP.)
Alfric ([name_u]Love[/name_u] love love.)
[name_m]Santo[/name_m]

[name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
[name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannelore[/name_f]
[name_f]Aloisia[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippine[/name_f]

33

Actually it’s pronounced more like bee-SHET, and is not a name in [name_f]France[/name_f] but a word meaning “young doe” and a term of endearment for a young woman. I have no idea why it’s listed as a [name_m]French[/name_m] name in the Nameberry database.

34

I guess these would be my weirdest…
