what's the most ridiculous, guiltiest pleasure you can think of?
(but would NEVER name a kid it...or maybe you would...)
it could be the name of a character, a poem, a show, etc, or it could just be a word that you like.

mine:
sunflower sutra
gypsy rose
serendipity
tigerlily
ziggy
maui
utopia

Charisma
Chrysanthemum

.... and no, I never would!

[pixietangerine.livejournal.com]

chrysanthemum is one of mine, too! honestly, i'd seriously consider it if i didn't have better names picked out already. i don't think it's that bad. she'd probably just be called chrissy a lot. and i think that's cute.

Acacia
Andromeda
Solaris
Vienna
Viola

[straight-outta.livejournal.com]

[straight-outta.livejournal.com]

Sunshine.

[eb-girl.livejournal.com]

I have to resist the urge to name my children after the team members of SG-1. :P

Or.. Trinium.

[glassteapot.livejournal.com]

You mind reader, you! :p
Why is it that sci-fi shows have the best names?

[eldanildiel.livejournal.com]

Seconded

[jesus--suburbia.livejournal.com]

Optimus Prime.

hahah
or Verano or Invierno

[thiscantbesoy.livejournal.com]

Our cat's name is Optimus Prime.

[celtic-thistle.livejournal.com]

Charisma and Severity. I would never use them but...

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Sunshine is mine too. :)

Also, one of my guilty pleasures is off-limits due to extreme popularity and spelling abuse: Madison. :/

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

There are two "place" names that I love, even though I (probably) wouldn't use them: Kenya and India.

I also really like "Measure" for a girl's name.

[turn-it-upp.livejournal.com]

i like the names kenya and india, too:)

[ladydiddymus.livejournal.com]

aw is Tigerlily from Peter Pan? Because I loved her when I was little.
Mine would have to be September.

[a-groovy-gypsy.livejournal.com]

Yes, Tigerlily was a character in Peter Pan. :)

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

Nigel Valentine.

[a-groovy-gypsy.livejournal.com]

When I used to chat in Yahoo chatrooms, I had the name Gypsy Angel. When I would get "yelled at", they would call me Gypsy Marie. So...while I love the name Gypsy....I would never, NEVER name any of my children that. (And besides, it's my kitty's name now)

[turn-it-upp.livejournal.com]

haha i never use it either but i probably will use it for my next pet:)

[child-of-eru.livejournal.com]

Oh, all my poor children would be straight out of King Arthur's court...
Lancelot
Guinevere
Gawain
Gareth

I would never use those though. Actually, I would almost consider the three 'G' names up there, but definitely /not/ as a sib set.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I agree :D

[christhiane.livejournal.com]

Girls:
Alvienne
April
Autumn Gale
Egwene
Nyneave
Meiling
So-Yun
Thi-Ha

That's eight of my eleven top favourites... Only Ann-Charmaine, Belissa, and Vienna left. *pouts* Though, I MIGHT use Alvienne... *sheepish*

Boys:
Ask/Ash
Disraeli

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

You a fan of the Wheel of Time series?

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

I like a lot of "virtue" names like:

Verity
Honor
Worth
Mercy
Clementine

Others:
Scarlett (from Gone With the Wind)
Manon (pronounced the French way, Mah-NAW-n
Ilse (ILL-suh or EEL-suh)
Marigold (from the LM Montgomery book Magic for Marigold)

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

The one thing that always irked me about Marigold's naming was that her father was Leander, and the family got all "OMG there's no feminine form."

... but Leandra is far less strange than SOME of the names they then discuss at the [hilarious] dinner scene.


What a great book.

[shula.livejournal.com]

Sandrine is a fairly common (and lovely) name here in Belgium and also in France. :)

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Aside from the King Arthur names mentioned up there, my guilty pleasure is Caspian.
As in Caspian from the Narnia series.

I would name a child that, but the boyfriend says no :(

[framedinblood.livejournal.com]

Girls:
Artemis
Asia
Echo - I'd possibly use it for a middle name, but certianly not a first name.
Peregrine - I LOVE this name, but I don't really think it would be a practical first name.

Boys:
Adonis
Christian - I like it, but I wouldn't use it because of the religious aspect.
Loki
Micah - I don't care for biblical names, this is the only one I like, but I'd never use it because of it being biblical.
