What are you guilty pleasure names?
Name's that you love but would probably never use!
(But maybe you can get away with it as a middle name?!)

For me, it's mostly animal names; Bird, Wren, Dove, Fawn, Lion, Wolf, Bear, Fox

I also love the names Sunshine, Blossom, Honey, Petal & Clover

ETA: Am adding; Atlas, Story, Napoleon, Banjo, Huck, Knight, Zeppelin, Moe

And some old man names that for some reason I find rather endeering; Stan, Cecil, Winston, Albert, Authur, Humphery, Franklin, Alfred, Maurice & Walter

India for a girl

Kelly and Ashley for boys

<3 Ashley for a boy

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Probably: Miette, Oona, Agnes, Zelda, Petah, Zipporah (as a first name) Atticus or Ulysses, Fox, Dov...

And I've always had a thing for double French names, like Jean-Claude, but even more for girls with a masculine first, like Etienne-Sofie, Jean-Georgette, or Baptiste-Elodie, etc. I'd never actually name anyone this. :)

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

I would name my son Jean-Claude and not feel the least bit guilty about it. Those double French names are so damn sexy.

Wednesday, October and Winter, although Winter I would consider using.

[http://users.livejournal.com/-----citylight/]

I love almost all of those names, Phineas, Dexter, Felix, Bastean, Fawn, Clementine, Willow, Indie and Posie in particular, (spelt Posey though) is actually my new favourite.

Was just wondering how you pronounce Laure?

[b-gum.livejournal.com]

Off the top of my head, some of my guilty pleasure names are November, America, Sunshine, Sargeant, Adorabelle, and Milk. I have no idea where Milk came from but I've liked it for a long time. :)

My husband's guilty pleasure names are Beelzebub nn Bubba, Darth Vader nn Dae Vae, anf Ford Prefect after a main character in his favorite book.

Dad said that he always dreamed of getting married and traveling the country in an old van with his dog, "old lady", and his kid named Moonbeam.

((Btw checking lj in the livingroom leads to family conversations :D ))

[http://users.livejournal.com/-----citylight/]

Lol Milk is awesome! I met a old lady a couple of months ago named Milka, which I thought was pretty cute.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I've got very large parts on my list of names that I really like, but probably wouldn't use, lol. I think my absolute guiltiest would probably be Shia and Bohemia.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I like really quirky old fashioned names like Jasper, Emmett, Thatcher, etc. for boys and Harriet, Hazel, and Louisa for girls. I like them all a lot, and I don't think there's anything wrong with them, but I think it might be "easier" to go through life as James vs. Jasper, so I probably won't use them.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Five out of the six names you listed are or have been on my list, and I wouldn't hesitate to use any of them.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Girly names on boys: Jocelyn, Paige, Dana
Word names: Lyric (f), Song (f), Ever (f/m), Sonnet (m)

[fangirlism]

Gemstone names: Onyx, Opal, Ruby, etc.

(I love the name Onyx so much I plan to use it someday... on a cat, lol.)

[alwaysgenevieve.livejournal.com]

My dog's name is Onyx!

[heure-actuelle.livejournal.com]

Isis, Ocean, Liberty, River (though i miiiiiiight use idk)

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

Boys: Bodhi (might get away with!), Indigo, Walter, Weston, Stacey
Girls: Indiana/Indi, Blue/Blu

[lovelymae.livejournal.com]

I love Walter! My boyfriend didn't make that face he usually makes when I say a name so that is a good sign!

[twitchywoman.livejournal.com]

Payne. I adore this name, but everyone says it would be cruel to name my kid this, but I love it so!
Israel
Poet
Birdie/Byrdie. I might use this as a nickname, but I don't have any names that it would work well as a nickname.
September. Considering my fav boy name is August, it wouldn't work.
Lester. I have no idea, but it kinda grew on me from watching Big Love...then I watched Chuck and yeah, I hate that character.

[http://users.livejournal.com/-----citylight/]

I love Birdie too, but had the same problem and couldn't find a longer more formal versian. All that I came up with was Alberta & Bertha, and I like neither!

[queen-islanzadi.livejournal.com]

Girls
-Fawn
-Lyric
-Clover
-Fallon (IDK I might use it though...)
-Andromeda

Boys
-River
-Atlas

Lourdes
Evanna
Luna
Lou
Tanith
Indigo
Dunya
Austeja

For boys...I guess only Aeneas.

Also, I only just realized how many of my guilty pleasure names contain an 'ou' sound. Crazy!

[my-little-voice.livejournal.com]

I'm with you on Wren, Honey & Clover.
Also, Imogen, Ophelia, Elias, Jasper, Laurent, Olivier, Bronwyn, Clementine

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

Oh, Meadow is a good one! I love that one too, but wouldn't use it.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Serenity. Yes, I am a Firefly fan, but I also just really like it! I consider it prime middle name material.

[fangirlism]

My boyfriend is willing to give me Serenity because he's a Firefly fan (I just like the name.)

ETA: About your middle name material comment: For the longest time my top fn/mn combo was Adele Serenity. Then I got with my boyfriend. His last name starts with an S. I couldn't do that to a child, lol.

[coffeecup37.livejournal.com]

'Old lady' names for girls: Florence, Edith, Agnes, Margo, Cecily, Harriet, Hazel, Mabel, Elsie. I would probably use any one of these, though likely as a mn since boyfriend would veto as firsts.

Others: Tallulah (my favourite girls name ever; boyfriend does not like; I will persist), Honey, Clover, Clementine, Poppy, Harlow, Harper, Nel.

For boys, there are few names I love enough to use, but some of my non-use loves are: Alfie, Pavel (nn Pasha), Lennon, Arlo, Maddox, Sebastian.

[mossmade.livejournal.com]

I love Wren, River, and Bracken.

[alwaysgenevieve.livejournal.com]

Lulabelle
Tallulah
Mabel
Lottie
Fleur
Sailor

July
Lyric
River
Phoenix

[clementine907.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure they qualify as 'guilty pleasure' names if you would use them if your hubbs didn't veto every single one of them...

Louella, Adiva, Macy, Emmeline, Violet

Aldous, Arlo, Kingston, Major, Pilot, Cassius [nn Cash], Zion

Ohhh and after I watched Zombieland I'm randomly IN LOVE with the names Tallahassee & Wichita both for girls

[alwaysgenevieve.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend's favorite boy name is Major. I have never ever seen anyone post it or talk about it! Where did you come up with it? He likes it because of Major league baseball...

I am not 100% convinced because I know how mean kids can be and I can just imagine "hey Major asshole!" ect.

I like your sn! That's my doggie's name.

[lovelymae.livejournal.com]

I am drawn to really cutesy names: Lulu, Lovely, Clementine, Amara, Bluebelle, Lottie, Ruby, Lavender, Poppy, Primrose, etc.

[alwaysgenevieve.livejournal.com]

One of my doggies was named Lulu Belle. Clementine is her sister. Lottie is on my baby name list. :) Lovely is cute. Reminds of a girl I know whose daughter is Truly.

[qtshorty1625.livejournal.com]

Aww, Atlas. I had a friend who wrote a story about a zombie apocalypse, and the main character is named Atlas.

I think it's funny that you referred to Stan, Cecil and Walter as "old man" names because I know men in their 20-30s with those names :).

Guilty pleasures: Huck(leberry), Cooper, Kitty, Guy (pronounced the French way), Bailey (f), Austin (f), Cecil, Sodapop, Dallas, Two-Bit, Merle, Waylon, Conway, Willie, Samwise, Pippin/Peregrin, Meridoc, Legolas.

[qtshorty1625.livejournal.com]

Oh and Cheyenne.
