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

i have a great aunt named viola :)

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

Or.. Trinium.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I know it's not a crazy crazy name, but it is a a musical nistrument, and since I play the violin there's a bit of rivalry between us and the Viola's at orchestra!

[jesus--suburbia.livejournal.com]

Optimus Prime.

hahah
or Verano or Invierno

[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. :/

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.

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

Nigel Valentine.

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)

[a-groovy-gypsy.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

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

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

[christhiane.livejournal.com]

I'd use Vienna.

[thiscantbesoy.livejournal.com]

Our cat's name is Optimus Prime.

[zeezatara.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend so badly wants to name his first son Optimus Prime.

[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)

[eldanildiel.livejournal.com]

Seconded

[mmmrorschach.livejournal.com]

Hero
(I Won) Custody
Proffit
Tyrion
Banjo

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Melanotaenia.

[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.
