What are you biggest Guilty Pleasure names?

Question

Names you like, but you'd never make a child suffer with (I know some of you would do that but I'm more so asking towards those who have a heart).

Some names I like, that I'd never curse upon a child are :
Persephone (per-SEF-ah-nee) --Greek name--
Antigone (ann-TIG-ah-nee) --Greek name--
Circe (SIR-see) --Greek name--
Calliope (ka-LY-ah-pee) --Greek name--
Brynleigh (BRIN-lee) --Made up name--
Nevaeh (neh-VAH-ay) --Made up name-- (I despise the illiterate pronunciation -na-vay-ah-)

Bentley (BEN-tlee) --Car name--
Broden (BROH-den) --Made up name--
Achilles (ah-KIL-leez) --Greek name--
Hadrian (HAY-dre-en) --Latin name--
Addison (AD-is-son) --masculine English Surname--
Mackenzie (ma-KEN-zee) --masculine Irish Surname--
Mckinley (ma-KIN-lee) --masculine Irish Surname--

So your turn.

Answer 1

- Boys -

•Anathema – It's a word from the Bible that means; one that is cursed or damned. Or one that is greatly reviled, loathed, or shunned.

•Lucifer – While its variants; Lucius, Lucille etc. are acceptable, Lucifer will always be related to the Lord of Darkness.

•Narcissus – A Greek boy (in myth) who was so beautiful that, when he saw his reflection in a pond/lake he drowned trying to reach his own beauty. Either that, or he starved to death as he refused to leave or look away.

•Nymphidius – It’s far too pretentious, near-impossible to live up to and it has no nice nickname options.

•Polidori – It’s a surname, sounds egotistical, has no nice nickname options and would be better suited to an aristocratic character.

•Meriwether – I could probably get away with “Merry” but Meriwether is just too cockie and will stick out like a sore thumb.



- Girls -

•Arthurina – It’s very old (in an unworkable way), it’s not particularly feminine and it has ‘urine’ in it.

•Frigga – It’s the name of a Norse goddess, so it’s a little too “special”, and it sounds like a modern profanity.

•Hortensia – It’s very full of itself, it’s far too princess-like for just any girl to handle and will be pronounced (incorrectly) as “WHORE-ten-sia”.

•Lilium – Since “Lil-“ names are currently in, it looks like a desperate attempt to be unique while comforting to the trend. That, and it sounds like something on the periodic table.

•Pansy – Its automatic association would be Harry Potter and, unfortunately, it is a common derogatory term for Homosexuals.

•Pleasance – A virtue name which wouldn’t work if my child was anything other than pleasant. Plus, it means “pleasuring.



Combinations:

♂ Lucifer Wilhelm Geoffrey

Answer 4

For a boy: Narcissus. (Nar-sis-uss) A Greek boy (in myth) who was so wonderful that he fell in love with his own reflection when he saw it in a physique of water (most likely a lake). He was once so enraptured through his own class that he either ended up drowning as he tried to reach his own magnificence, or he starved to demise as he refused to leave or look away. It’s… rather morbid. And despite the fact that I could get past its history, if I gave the title to a son and he wasn’t drop-useless stunning then (like Beau), I’d be surroundings him up for failure. For a woman: Bertha (Bert-uh) each time I hear or see this identify I routinely believe of a hefty, furry bar-wench from the core a while with thighs the size of tree trunks, a uni-forehead, Viking pigtails and a larger-than-existence cleavage. Why I nonetheless like this title; I haven't any proposal... Although, be certain, whilst Gertrude Victoria managed to make it onto my reliable list, Bertha is without end staying with my GPs. P.S - The spelling is unlucky, but the pronunciation of Evinrude is definitely lovely!

Answer 5

Oh I know how you feel about yours! I love Broden as well :)



-- Alicenne: I adore this name, pronounced exactly like Alison. I think it's just so gorgeous, and feminine looking, and I totally wish I could use it. Unfortunately, I think that no one would pronounce/spell it correctly.



-- Cecily: I love this name, but there's no way I could use it. It's so much like Sicily, and I don't know I could never use it.



-- Isobel: I adore this name, spelling, and the nickname Izzy. It's so perfect, except for my middle name is Isabel, and my niece's middle name is Isabella so there's no way I could ever get away with it.



-- Charlotte/Scarlett: When my boyfriend and I first met, we were discussing baby names and we were set on either Charlotte or Scarlett if we ever were to have a daughter. However, my niece is named Charlotte, so bye bye Charlotte/Scarlett!



-- Blair: My boyfriends absolute favorite name for a girl is Blair. And I kind of sort of may like it because of gossip girl. I normally HATE HATE HATE all masculine names on girls, but this one is just so simply cute. I would never make my daughter suffer with a masculine name though!



-- Chloe: I just think it's so cutesy!



~



-- Rylan: It sounds so cute, but it's made up so it's a big no no!



-- Addison: I hate the ever growing popularity for girls so I could never get away with it :(



-- Caden: SO popular, plus my boyfriend has a niece named Alyssa Kayden.

Answer 6

♀ Maximilienne (as a middle name, fear that she'll get teased because it's so close to Maximilian)

♀ India (I hate the city/country names but India is adorable, couldn't quite see myself naming my daughter that)

♀ Wilhelmina (it's too long and I can already see the "Willy" nicknames coming)

♀ Margarita (immediately thinking of the drink)



♂ Phineas (immediately thinking "and Ferb")

♂ Samuel (I don't know why I have this as a guilty pleasure name, but I do, I really like it though I'd never even consider naming my son that)

Answer 7

I love how you used Mackenzie and Mckinley as boy names,the proper genders!!



Boys:

Layne--I won't use it because it doesn't fit my environment.

Meyer-- I don't want my child named like this,but I adore it.

Torben--Danish,meaning Thor's bear. Just like above ^

Fritz-- The German sound of it is not a problem,but .. I'd rather keep it as a GP name :)

Owen-- If it's mispronounced,it sounds like something very rude in my language.

Morgun- Doesn't fit in my environment,one which is not native English speaker.



Girls:Wynta

Aoife

Charlotte

Maxine

All of them because they don't sound nice in my country,especially if I won't change my Romanian surname..

Answer 8

I do not have any Guilty Pleasure names because if I love a name I will use it, even if most people do not like the name, the only important thing is that me and my fiance agree on the name and luckily we have very similar tastes in names, :)



Persephone is on my favorite girl's name list.



Mackenzie is on my favorite boy's name list and Addison is my dad's name, Ihave Madison on my favorite boy's name list though.



I like your list of guilty pleasure names, :)

Answer 9

Bentley (because of Teen Mom)

Carlisle (because of Twilight)

Emmett (because of Twilight)

Jayden (this isn't an odd name or anything, just extremely overused)

Lorenzo





Mackenzie

Hayden

Delaney

Penelope (i love and hate this name at the same time. i don't know... lol)

Marisela (it's a guilty pleasure name because i'm white lol)

Answer 10

I love the names Hilda and Mabel, but so would never use them, as I just think it would be cruel.

I actually know an Antigone, nn Tiggy! Bless her!
