I was just wondering....is there ONE name out there that you love more than ANY other----but you KNOW you wont ever use it? Various reasons cause this...it doesn't sound right with your last name, or it already belongs to a friends child, etc.

For me, I have a few. Ive always loved the names Sunny and Penelope for a girl. I KNOW I wont ever use either though. My last name ends with a -ee sound, so Sunny is out of the question. Penelope is just too....SOMETHING for my taste.

As for boys...I have always loved the name Ethan. But I refuse to use a top ten name :)

I love the name Angelica (that spelling doesn't look right all of sudden for some reason) but would never use it, mainly because of the Rugrats show.


I love the name Dominic but I can't bring myself to add it to my list so I doubt I could actually name a kid that. I have absolutely no idea why.

I don't have any names that I wouldn't use, because I'm an "eff you" kind of namer, but I very seriously probably will never use Xanthe.

I love the name Polly (not Pollyanna, mind you, just "Polly") but since my name is Hayley people would always associate it with Hayley Mills doing Pollyanna. :(

LOVE.

I probably would use it, though.

Why wouldn't you?

Elijah is too important a character in the Bible for me to use the name. For some reason I just feel weird about it. Not really sure why. (:

So many. I have loved Mackenzie since I was 3 years old and went swimming in the Mackenzie river. Too trendy now. That's the only one I'll admit to. :)

me too, Aiden and Jaden. I really like both of them but would never EVER use them...

oh, and I would never use Cade or Cadence, because it would sound too much like Kadee, my husband's crazy ex's name. :P

I'm the same, Ethan is probably a no no unfortunatly.
I've said this before but my undying hatred of the name Stacey means i can't use Anastasia.
Also, i do hold a secret passion for the name Indiana, but then it's a state & i think place names are silly.
