Names you love but would never use

[whatanabsolutewholloper]

Joella - you know when you make random drunk friends in the loos when you’re out out? A girl once misheard my name as Joella (it sounds nothing like my name ) and I actually think it’s quite nice! Could never really use it though, or would have to make up a new backstory

I also liked Iona until P&O Cruises ruined it by naming their gigantic cruise ship that!!

Quoting myself here because I can't read
Just realised the thread title ended with 'but would not use' I would use these names I'll see myself out

Valentina. Beautiful name but it's giving future stripper.

I love Valentina but I don’t think it would suit a little girl that lives in Newcastle

My sister used my baby name last year

 

[Scarlett O' Hara]

Prometheus And Orphelia are my absolute loves for a boy and girl but I probably won't ever use them

Ah stop it..

i’ve never heard of orphelia before! do you mean ophelia or is this a different name?!

i absolutely love ophelia but i feel like i would been signing the child up to a lifetime of it being mispronounced.

it’s a beautiful name but I always think of the potential nicknames - Offy (slang for Off Licence where I come from) or possibly Feel Ya and teenage boys having a field day with it and making the poor girls life hell

That's how everyone has reacted since I said I liked them I would never use them but would love to just to go yes this is my kids names and I'm of Irish background so even funnier lol

The older I’m getting and the more people having babies before me the names I liked are getting taken but then it also puts me off. I’d disown my sister if she took a name I loved though lol

Ophelia is beautiful, getting really popular, I know of a few.

i genuinely can’t find it - do you have a link? all that comes up is a watch company what’s the meaning?

same. i love it but i feel like it would just get mispronounced or shortened to any number of awful things. it’s such a beautiful name as a whole though, but you know she’d get called offy

My sister used my baby name last year

My sister did exactly the same thing. I'd chosen a name if I had a daughter, she had her baby two months before my baby was born and "stole" the name from under me, but then I had a boy anyway. It still pissed me off no end however her daughter is the biggest ûber-witch of all time so maybe in a way its as well she got there first !!

I’m half Belgian and LOVE Aurelie but I know it would be butchered to “orally” here

if it makes you feel better, my mum stole my loved first name for a little girl and used it for her dog! I was absolutely fuming
