Names you love, but can't use

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Are there any names you love, but you can't use, for whatever reason?

I love the name Ptolemy. I think it's awesome, and an all around great name, and I just love the way it sounds. Unfortunately... Ptolemy.

On the plus side, little Ptolemy would definitely be the only Ptolemy in his class.

On the minus side, his name would be Ptolemy.

It would sound nice, but no one would be able to spell it, and they'd probably be like, "Was your mother smoking some kind of Egyptian crack when she named you...?"

Honestly, I love the name so much, I would be tempted to use it if I ever had a son. But unfortunately, I think it's just too weird. And that sucks.
