On a recent post I made about guilty pleasure names, someone told me that my choice wasn't anywhere near as bad as they were expecting for a "guilty pleasure" name. Honestly, a lot of my guilty pleasure names aren't WAY out there. So...I'm curious, what are YOUR guilty pleasure names? Mine are:

Bristol
Dusty Rose
Paisley
Cosette
Coraline
Daytona

I think the craziest guilty pleasure I've come up with was when I (JOKINGLY) said that if I ever had boy/girl twins I was naming them Bryan and Aldean or if I had girl/girl twins I was naming them Jessica and Elizabeth.

I'm not sure if I commented on your original post, although I remember reading it. I think Cosette and Coraline are perfectly usable. Bristol just makes me think of the Palin family. Dusty Rose is too adjective-noun sentence-sounding to me. Also, Dusty is a boys' name to me thanks to reading Johnny Tremain as a child. Rose is nice though. I've always had a really negative reaction to Paisley. Daytona = Daytona, Florida. Also, NASCAR.

Boys:
Sonnet
Ever

Girls:
Poem
Lyric
Ever
Winter (used to like it for both)
Snow

As I mentioned in response to another comment, I also like Kermit, and I used to love Zephyr, Merritt/Merit, and Paige for boys. Oh, and someone mentioned Meredith for a boy recently, and I am really kind of liking that too. That's all I can think of right now. I've got a new computer and haven't transferred over my documents from the old one, so I don't have access to my current list or list of old favorites.

I like Lyric, too. It's very pretty.

My biggest reason for not using Coraline is the dark tones of the movie. Plus, my #1 girls name is Colleen...so a sibset with Colleen and Cosette and/or Coraline is too much "K" sound for me.

Bristol Palin is the reason that Bristol is now on my guilty pleasure list. Everyone would associate that with her and think that's why I liked the name rather than the actual reason I like it.
