What are your guilty pleasure names?

Girl Names
22

I’ve got a thing for a few place names…

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]India[/name_f], [name_u]Indiana[/name_u], [name_f]Alaska[/name_f], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_u]Dakota[/name_u], [name_u]Madison[/name_u], [name_u]Montana[/name_u], [name_f]Olympia[/name_f], [name_f]Siena[/name_f] and [name_f]Atlanta[/name_f]. A couple I can see being used, but not many.

I’m also getting a real thing for O names - [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Olympia[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f].

I love [name_u]Murphy[/name_u] for a GIRL, but I’m not sure if I would ever be able to use it - not because it’s masculine, but because of [name_u]Murphy[/name_u]'s [name_m]Law[/name_m].

I love [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] for a girl, and I love [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] on paper, but I can’t see myself using it. I’m also fond of other Greek names like [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Ismene[/name_f], [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] & [name_f]Maia[/name_f]. Some of those more usable than others!

A HUGE guilty pleasure of mine used to be [name_f]Giuliana[/name_f], I thought it was the loveliest name I’d ever heard. I’ve moved on from it really, but I do have a bit of a soft spot for it. Same with [name_u]Billie[/name_u]. Actually, I also really like [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f], but I can’t see myself using it.

It’s funny I consider a lot of the names that have been mentioned to be perfectly usable-[name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Bryony[/name_f](On my “definitely must use” list), [name_f]Ginny[/name_f], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]…
It would be interesting to know the reasons.

I’m not of Spanish/Mexican heritage so there’s some really pretty Spanish names I couldn’t use:
[name_f]Marisol[/name_f]
[name_f]Solana[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercedes[/name_f]
[name_m]Ilario[/name_m]
[name_m]Inigo[/name_m]
Same with Japanese names:
[name_u]Mio[/name_u]
[name_f]Nomi[/name_f]
[name_f]Sakura[/name_f]
[name_f]Chiyo[/name_f]
[name_u]Ren[/name_u]
Kaname
[name_u]Yuki[/name_u]

These are just a bit too elaborate or out there:
[name_f]Mohogany[/name_f] (“hog” :frowning: )
[name_f]Elva[/name_f]
[name_f]Amarantha[/name_f]
[name_f]Mehitabel[/name_f] (I’ve almost convinced myself I could use this, nn [name_f]Hetty[/name_f])
[name_f]October[/name_f] (quite a few month names actually)
[name_f]Forsythia[/name_f]
[name_f]Wisteria[/name_f]
[name_f]Zipporah[/name_f]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]
[name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]
[name_u]Valentine[/name_u] (boy)
[name_f]Diamond[/name_f] (boy…I know)
[name_m]Reason[/name_m]

[name_u]Taliesin[/name_u]

Bad associations:
[name_f]Tamar[/name_f]
[name_f]Sapphira[/name_f]
[name_m]Wyndham[/name_m](the hotel)
[name_f]Winslet[/name_f](the actress. I like her, but I don’t want to name my daughter after her)
[name_f]Colombine[/name_f]

31

[name_f]Columbine[/name_f]. It’s such a pretty name, but usually the first thing anyone will think about when someone says ‘[name_f]Columbine[/name_f],’ is the [name_f]Columbine[/name_f] High School massacre, not the [name_f]Columbine[/name_f] flower. :frowning:

32

I think these are quite usable:
[name_f]Eowyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]
[name_u]Indiana[/name_u]
[name_f]Sparrow[/name_f]
[name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]

[name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]
[name_f]Karma[/name_f]
Firenze
[name_f]Mesa[/name_f] (it’s so bad that I like this)
[name_f]Sheherazade[/name_f]

33
