Names you want so desperately to use but don't think you could ever get away with it? Plant names, super off-the-wall names. Anything that you know it wouldn't work (the world would never understand!)

I would die for two girls named Coco and Magnolia. I don't know why. I can't explain it and I know that I'll never be a famous actress or something so I am left with my imagination.

I adore the names Coco and Magnolia! I see no reason why you couldn't use them. :)

When I was younger I wanted to name my daughter Lucky Alexa because I had read a bunch of Jackie Collins books about a heroine named Lucky and I fell in love with the character and the name. Unfortunately, it's an awfully popular moniker for dogs. ;)

I think both Coco and Magnolia are gorgeous. I don't think there's anything wrong with them, especially Magnolia.. they aren't that crazy..

I love Andromeda & Aurora but I think they're a bit much. I know Aurora is getting known now, but.. ehh..

WI think maybe we just have to get some pets and use the names on them!

I'm still hoping that it'll be completely normal to have oddly named children in the future and can name my child Magnolia! I am, however, pondering a cat named Coco - I have a Sally already and I am a huge Flight of the Conchords fan (the boys had gfs named Sally and Coco).

I had a friend in high school named Lucky. I don't think it's a weird name or anything.

Really? Cool. :)

I used to LOVE the name Calia (Cal-ee-ah), but I couldn't have used it because where I live (Florence, Italy) it's an old term for prude. The dictionary also states that it means gold dust, so that was my bonus to stand on!

Now, aside from personal reasons why I wouldn't use it, I feel it would just fit into the Layla, Kayla, Maila, Mailie, Hailie trend somehow.

I think Avery on a girl is adorable, but I have a personal thing against unisex/wrong gender names, so I'd never use it. I just think it sounds pretty.

I think Coco is a great name for a cat, I can't imagine it on a child.. but I think Magnolia isn't all that out there for a person really. I reckon you could use it, especially if you were willing to use nicknames, because it has heaps of potential nicknames that sound like more typical names.

I want to name one of my children Campbell.

I totally do not want to encourage you (lol), but I love those names.

My boyfriend's last name is French and starts with an "L". I love love love the name Léonie Olivia. But I mean -- look at what her initials would be. I don't think I would be allowed to get away with that. :/

gypsy and ziggy, i don't think i could get away with naming a child those names, i'll probably give them to my next pets, hah.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Belle is a legit name, though :)
it comes from Isabelle

Coco and Magnolia are both pretty. ^^

I like Rhapsody...and some very out-of-the-ordinary Harry Potter names...and others but that's all I can think of at the moment.

i've recently started to like the name Diggory (nn: Dig). but it is so clearly straight out of harry potter that i could never justify going that far. and i've always loved the name anastasia, but i'm not particularly girly, so i figure my daughter wouldn't be either, and then it seems ridiculously out of place.

One of my great grandmother's name was Pearl Snow. I *love* the name, but every time I bring it up with the husband I get vetoed. Perhaps Pearl Rose (after another grandma)?

Best part? Husband's grandmother's name was Pearl as well.

[levis-jules.livejournal.com]

But if their last name is Pepper- you can't have a child named Belle Pepper- that's just wrong!

[isoldereverie.livejournal.com]

I love the name Arwen. Yes from LOTR. There is no way I could ever use it for my child though. My husband grew up (in NZ) next door to a girl named Alwyn which is close but seems awkward to me.

I really like Promise and November Rain, but I know that my fiancee would make up some joke about going hippy and the names would be off the table. If I do end up having a baby that's due around November I still might suggest it.

[isoldereverie.livejournal.com]

CS Lewis used the name Diggory,too. In elementary school I knew a girl named Anastasia but was called Stagie (pronounced Stay-zhee.) I thought that was the epitome of cool!

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

LOL!

I always wanted to name a son Kovu- yes like off the Lion King sequel. But I always loved that name but I really doubt I could get away with it.

[isoldereverie.livejournal.com]

My hippie-ish sister named her kids Beckyn Blue-Skies, Camon Rain, and Autumn Flower. Yes, my nephew Camon was born during a thunderstorm. I've always admired her for using names she loved, and in the next breath prayed for the kids to make it through life with limited teasing over their names!

And, she could have the middle name Alexis and she would have the initials B. A. Pepper. And then she could go to medical school and become......wait for it..... Dr. Pepper!

Okay...I'm gonna stop now.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I might be wrong, but I think Pepper was the middle name, in that case.

And I think I'm missing out on something, why would Belle be wrong with Pepper? :/ I'm not from the US, it is something particular over there?
