Too wild to use?

[name]Do[/name] you have a list of names that you adore, but hesitant to even think about using?
I do.
I am curious if anyone else does the same!

My list has over fifty names, but here are a few of them…

Vox
[name]Morrison[/name]
Javert
[name]Marius[/name]

[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Poet[/name]
[name]Sparrow[/name]
[name]Serenade[/name]

Oh totally, 90% of my list I don’t think I would ACTUALLY use, I just think they’re lovely or interesting.

Honestly, a lot of it is names I think are pretty, but might hesitate because I don’t feel like they’re meaningful enough.
[name]Gwen[/name] & [name]Eve[/name] are at the top of that list. Those I think I might use, but I’d think twice.

[name]Everly[/name]
Revily
[name]Amory[/name]
[name]Zara[/name]
[name]Suriya[/name]
Quinalyn
Illyrica
[name]Emory[/name]
[name]Maple[/name]
Wrenley
[name]Thessaly[/name]
Faraday
[name]Coral[/name]

[name]Calvin[/name]
[name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Zane[/name]
Zeal - love this one!
[name]Darius[/name] - love love love
[name]Rufus[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
Solemn

Yes! But not too many.

[name]Plum[/name]
Lumi
[name]Clea[/name]
[name]Maple[/name]

[name]Euphemia[/name]
[name]Artemis[/name]
[name]Artemisia[/name]
[name]Rapunzel[/name]

[name]Severus[/name]
[name]Llewellyn[/name]

Of your list, I’m actually surprised to see [name]Freya[/name] on it. To me that’s a pretty safe name!

[name]Peregrine[/name]
[name]Juniper[/name]
[name]Emerald[/name]
[name]Dulcinea[/name] (my chihuahua’s name. [name]Love[/name] it but could never use for a human baby)
[name]Marigold[/name]

[name]Augustine[/name]
[name]Quarry[/name]
[name]Cove[/name]
[name]Ebenezer[/name] (nn [name]Eben[/name])
[name]Ryker[/name]

There are a few…

[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Astoria[/name]
[name]Lulu[/name]
Darling (middle name, of course)
[name]Luna[/name]

[name]Severine[/name]
[name]Liesl[/name]
[name]Lennox[/name]
[name]Viggo[/name]
[name]Cosmo[/name]
[name]Alcott[/name]

And [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Graham[/name]. [name]Even[/name] though I think it sounds lovely together, his name would essentially be [name]Teddy[/name] [name]Graham[/name]. :frowning:

I have quite a few!

[name]Holliday[/name]
[name]Delfina[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name]
[name]Isannah[/name]

[name]Arlen[/name]
[name]Boaz[/name]
[name]Omri[/name]
[name]Zebedee[/name]!

I agree, it’s not overly wild, but it’s just so different to me! I have to say it is growing on me though! Maybe even making its way over to the “keep in mind” list! :slight_smile:

@catloverd Not so much that it’s wild, it’s just so different to me! It is growing on me though, and quickly becoming a favourite! :slight_smile:

@circus85 [name]Caspian[/name] is on my list as well! I adore it, but don’t know if I could ever bring myself to use it.

The top striker in my footie team named his daughter [name]Delfina[/name] before he moved to our club. Recently, his wife pointed out that it’s also an anagram of Anfield which is the name of our ground (stadium)… [name]How[/name] serendipitous :slight_smile:

Pshht! I would use [name]Marius[/name] without hesitation :slight_smile:
I don’t specifically have a list of names I’d love but wouldn’t use, but there are certain names that won’t make the top of my list just because I don’t think they’d travel well (usually my biggest issue with a name).

@twentyeightist-- I was just about to post mine, [name]Severine[/name] and [name]Reverie[/name], then I saw your list! [name]Lennox[/name] too, although that one is more usable to me.

I think [name]Morrison[/name], [name]Marius[/name] and [name]Freya[/name] are definitely usable. [name]Fox[/name] could be a great alternative to Vox, and I actually like [name]Poet[/name] and [name]Serenade[/name].

My names:

Boys:
[name]Ocean[/name] (I [name]LOVE[/name] the sound, but Idk if it usable)
Beowulf (for the longest, I was going to name my future son this, but it has been demoted to middle name status)
[name]Othello[/name] (I’m black, so I’m thinking this isn’t usable)
[name]Thor[/name] (definitely would have to be in the middle)

Girls
Dovasary (love this name, but like Beowulf, it has been put on the middle name list)
[name]Antigone[/name] (I may use this one, but I have been getting a lot of backlash about how “horrible” it is)
Scheherazade (lovely name, but so much of a mouthful)
[name]Echo[/name] (would use this in the middle. In the first spot? Idk…)

Yes I have a few bizarre ones
Girls: shiva, pria, amerie, amaryllis, [name]Havana[/name], Chenoa
Boys: [name]Chevy[/name], [name]Brychan[/name], aspen, halen, carwyn

Edited for privacy.

I’ve known 3 [name]Laurel[/name]'s in my life! So I think of it as very usable.

I’ve also known a [name]Beau[/name] and it fit him beautifully.

I love [name]Lyric[/name] as well. It’s just lovely. Definitely mn potential though.

Hmm. Mine seem to be mostly mythological.

Tiamat
[name]Chrysanthemum[/name]
[name]Aravis[/name]
[name]Galatea[/name]
[name]Isis[/name]

[name]Azriel[/name]
[name]Orpheus[/name]

uniquenamelover: [name]Antigone[/name] and Scheherezade (especially the Shaharazad spelling) are on my list, too! I’m also really liking [name]Echo[/name] at the moment.

I love the name [name]Milo[/name] but its an energy drink in Australia. :frowning:

Other names:

[name]Ariadne[/name]
[name]Fiora[/name]
