Unique??

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Everyone has guilty pleasures...the exception to the rule...

What are yours?

Personally, I'd actually use most of the names I like. I know my family has issues with my love of using names I love with no regard to historical gender. Having researched the crap out of the psychology and sociology of names in undergrad and grad school, I know the theories associated with crossgendered names but I must admit that it simply boils down to one thing - if I love it, I love it....regardless of whether there is a penis or a vagina attached. I like Jane and Ashley on boys and James and Joshua on girls and vice versa.

Other guilty pleasures - 

Journey
Vrai
Trinity
Shiloh
Leviathan
Fox

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I really like Thatcher, Atticus, Carver, and Sawyer....and Piper is growing on me:)

[jesus--suburbia.livejournal.com]

Ford is the only one I can think of.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Penelope.

[anaphylexis.livejournal.com]

Oh god, how I love that name.

[ghost-nymph.livejournal.com]

me too.

[samaside.livejournal.com]

My guilty pleasure is Wedge.

What can I say, I'm a huge Star Wars fan. The first time I heard it was in third grade and I never had the wedgie association. To me it was just that guy from the movie.

I've been considering using it as a nickname for Wesley, another favorite usable name.

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

I think Wedge is a fabulous nickname for Wesley, since I'm also a huge Star Wars fan.

However, I'd spell it Westly, because I'm an even bigger Princess Bride fan.

Ptolemy - #1, I would definitely use it if it weren't so out there
Jean-Baptiste
Ignatius

I guess Theodora could almost be considered a guilty pleasure name as well, since most people seem to hate it, but I would actually use it.

[samaside.livejournal.com]

I love Theodora D=

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm not alone!

[flightybynature.livejournal.com]

First of all- I LOVE Journey....so that would be a guilty pleasure for me....but thankfully I already used it on a pet (a rat), so I won't be tempted to use it again :P Other Guilty pleasures:

Sequoia
Weather
Joaquin
Oona
Rada (My grandmother's name....my grandfather's name is Lesard! :P)
Calamity

[flightybynature.livejournal.com]

PS: I also think that Fox is pretty awesome- for a boy :D

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

Joaquin is a perfectly usable name and I really love it!

[flightybynature.livejournal.com]

I think a lot of it is that the pronounciation is so incredibly different than the spelling...and I know that no one would ever be able to get it right without being told a couple of times :P Same reason I won't use Gaelic names....there's no way you can just sound them out O_o

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

All mine are male names! And I'd use them all :D Not that I'd ever be allowed!
Caspian
Gwydion
Leander
Lysander
Orion
Phineas
Phoenix
Sirius

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I'd use Caspian!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Caspian's definately my favourite out of those, and one of my favourite names, but my BF hates it!

[samaside.livejournal.com]

I'd use Phineas, Orion, Phoenix, Sirius or Caspian... I don't think those are too out there!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

They're not, but I'm a huge Harry Potter geek, so everyone would know the names were from there!
And the BF has already vetoed Caspian!

[sloane-hd.livejournal.com]

I love Lysander!

You know my brother's name is Phineas, Phin for short.
Leander is a pretty common name here.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

My guilty pleasures (all for girls, for some reason):

Lourdes
Blue
Meadow
Alaska

I love them! =)

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Arlen

I eventually took off my list anything that was too out there, so that's the only one. I derived it from Arline, which is my second middle name, in an attempt to make it prettier.

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

Tallulah I think is my only one. But I'd never actually use it now. It was more like a favorite name in High School.

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

Bellatrix
Drusilla
Madonna
Nadie [NAH-dyay, Spanish for "no one"
Narcissa
Tallulah

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

I love Bellatrix and Tallulah!

[bluedano.livejournal.com]

I love the name Bellatrix! My husband vetoed it for a kid, so that's what we named our dog. :D

[sloane-hd.livejournal.com]

I know it's stupid by I named my car Bellatrix.

I also really like Tallulah

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

My 7th month old boxer is Journey!! I love it. I also love Sawyer.

My guilty pleasures that I may/may not use are..

October - g
Tuesday - g
Lyric - g
Story - g
River - b

[chronologie.livejournal.com]

I also love the name Tuesday, but my boyfriend is too straight-laced for something like that (far, far ahead in the future).

[xpinkxamazingx.livejournal.com]

Just for a girl i loved Honey and delilah.
I am having a boy and i have picked a unique name...Nile or a simple british name.. James.

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

Tallulah and Felix. I love them and would actually use them, but all my family and friends hate them, and Hubby has vetoed them. *sigh*

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

GIRLS

Valentine
Trixie
Margarita (Rita)

BOYS
Sara

I like Fox too!

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

Actually Valentine on a boy or girl.

[taillow.livejournal.com]

ARE YOU SHITTING ME?! Trixie Valentine is the name that my husband and I have had set in stone as our girl name since loooong before I got pregnant!!! I don't know yet if it's a boy or a girl, though, so we'll see if we get to use it.

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

Thats so awesome.

[mimiwrites.livejournal.com]

Gracie Sparkles. I love it, but it's a striper name.

[sloane-hd.livejournal.com]

Joon, Euridyce and James for girls.

Lysander for a boy.

[serenebean.livejournal.com]

Casimir! I would absolutely use it as a middle name, but probably not a first name.

[samaside.livejournal.com]

I would so totally use Fox if I could.

I mean, I might use it as a middle name. As corny as it says, the name has meaning to me. The only thing me and my dad ever did together when I was a kid was watch Star Wars. No lie. That's all we ever did together.

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

Manon
Felicity
Fleur

Mason (me and my husband met at George Mason University)

[thorabrighid.livejournal.com]

Blue. for a girl. and Alaska.

I really like Tennessee too, but damn it'd suck to be named that.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Blue and Alaska are so pretty. Is it you that mentioned once a while back that you loved the name Blue? Because someone did, and it has been a GP name of mine ever since!

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Heidi [maybe not gp? i so would love to name a little girl Heidi Rain]
Rain/Raine
Blue
Pippa [Pip for short]

Jade [for a BOY]
Thatcher [entirely because of Grey's]
Severus [yes I know, I know..I may buy a cat some day and name it this just to satisfy my love for the name lol]
Marley
Phoenix

[depply-in-luv.livejournal.com]

I love the name Fox. I've thought of using it for a middle name.

my favourites are:
[Girls]
Penelope
Fiona
Lulla Belle
Lydia
Laila

[Boys]
Noah
Sebastian
West
True
Wyatt
Ladin (pronounced Lay-din. I love the name Ladislav, but I'm from Canada, not from the Czech, so that won't work. So, if I named my son Ladin, I could use the nickname Ladi, like you would with Ladislav.)
