What's your one favorite girl name that you don't have the guts to use?

[ballet90]

Jacquetta

It's so pretty but so many people think it's either harsh, mispronounce it or just think it's too different.

Some others would be:
Andromeda
Astrid
Isolde
Leonesse
Morgaine

[missnoellereed]

Some of my guilty pleasure names are:

Girls - January (Jan), Honor, Abilene, Linnea, Jane, Waverly, Noa, Karen, Vera, Zahara, Nova, Carolina, Livia, and lots more that I can't remember

Boys - Theodore, Landon, Gregory, Chase, Beckett, Lincoln, Matteo, West, Frederic, Bennett, Willoughby, and a few others that I can't think of.

Some of them are related to people that I know that I have bad associations with, some of the names my family detests, and some of the names I am just scared to use.

[swan]

Antigone. Or basically any ancient greek name like that, not because I'm worried about naming my child something ~weird, but because what if she doesn't share my love of history? What if she wants to be a doctor or a teacher or the president? I'd always worry about pushing my sense of style onto my child, which is why I'll never have a daughter named Ariadne, or Circe, no matter how much I love those names

[lucialucentum]

Maybe Leire. I LOOOOVE it a crazy amount, I think it's absolutely gorgeous but my parents have no shot at pronouncing it correctly, and it'll just be a huge headache for her if she grows up in an English-speaking area.

[thetxbelle]

Soizic is probably one of the few names I wouldn't use but might really want to.

[carolinedanielle]

Seraphina. I think it's so beautiful, but it just seems over the top for real life.

[sunshine.10]

It would have to be Dulcinea for me. I love the connection with Man of La Mancha, but it seems too long and sugary, especially compared to my other favorite names.

[gblondie]

[QUOTE=allthatglitters;1512680]If I have to pick one? Geneva. I guess it isn't totally unusable. I've just never heard it used on a real person before! I read about a character with that name many years ago and I've loved it ever since.

My daughter's name Is Geneva. We mostly get "how pretty/Unique" some "how unusual"

[gblondie]

Mazarine
Zephyrine (GORGEOUS)
Saphirra
Indira (might talk myself into)
Aderyn
Cordelia (quilty pleasure, but seems like a name I wouldn't like)
Dahlia

[nativoyoung]

Bernice.

I ADORE THE NAME. Love it, love it, love it and it totally works with my daughters' names (Miriam, Emeline, Harriet)--but since I've never heard of anyone else liking it, I am worried that my daughter would think she had an ugly name.
