LMD Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 So I love talking baby names, DH and I are always discussing them (no more babies planned at present!) and always bring up names we hear around. What is your favourite 'I love it but would never have the guts to use it' name? Or if you have the guts (and a DH with guts to match) and used it, what are some others you have loved? What names would you love to see gaining popularity/making a comeback? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahlanne Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I love baby names and always wanted to use Julietta, Magdelene, Calliope, Genevieve, Georgia, Romilly, Prudence, Mae, Pheobe, Felicity, and Esme for girls. Dh never liked them. With boys I loved Samson, Seegan, Ramsey and Malachi but Dh didnt. His only suggestion that we really disagreed on is Anjelle which he loves. Some of the names we love and used are Celena, Scarlett, Evangeline, Annabelle, Zeke, Elsa, and Rosalie. We also had chosen the names Beaudry Robert or Jasper Jameson had our last been a boy.

kahlanne Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Oh how did I forget Viola and Violette which Dh hates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaCoop04 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I've always loved Mycah, Noelle, and Jordyn for a girl, but so far only one girl. For a boy, I've liked Asa, but have been afraid of nicknames that might come up with mean kids.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Girl: Kasmira Boy (of which we have none): Rensselaer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissymama Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I really like the name Wolf for a boy, but dh wouldn't go for it. I also really like Bodhi, but it never felt right. For a girl, I really like Beatrix, with a potential nickname of Trixie, but dh would not have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluechicken Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I love Ocean for a boy. DH would never go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Boy: Sherlock. I really really wish I had the guts to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I alllllllmost used Saoirse for dd, and then a kid in our local playgroup ended up being named Saoirse, so that would have been weird to have two together :lol: (I found out after the fact). It's pronounced "Seer-sha." FYI. We did use one quite unconventional name: Griffon. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Boy: Sherlock. I really really wish I had the guts to do this. That would be kind of awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 wow, some great names here! I consider us pretty gutsy :D Some names that we love, that we may or may not ever get a chance to see if we'd have the guts to use... girls: Inessa, Odessa/Odette, Emerald, Hazel, Ada. I looooooove Noelle, but DH doesn't agree (and I have a Micah as a middle name for one of my DS's). boys: Obadiah, Yvan, Enoch, Hedeon (DH loves this one but I haven't allowed it.), Vasily. We both really like Absalom but the biblical namesake isn't very nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 That would be kind of awesome. I'm glad someone else does too! I'm currently pregnant and if it is a boy...maybe. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I love Minerva with the nn Minnie. I don't think I have the guts to use it, but my husband is surprisingly not against it. It's a strong, ancient name which means intellect. How can you go wrong? I'm going to try it out when people ask for my name at coffee shops and restaurants for the next few months. :) girls: Inessa, Odessa/Odette, Emerald, Hazel, Ada. I looooooove Noelle, but DH doesn't agree (and I have a Micah as a middle name for one of my DS's). I know a baby Ada. I think it's lovely. I also really like Hazel.
