Guilty Pleasure Names?
For me it’s Scarlett, Kylie, Luna, and Acadia. What about you?

Oh for sure. If you check my PNL, I have a list actually named guilty pleasure. For me a guilty pleasure name is a name that I enjoy, but is either not trending right now, or is a bit weird or is VERY old fashioned. It's like a name that I like but wouldn't really give to a child, if that makes sense. LOLHere a some:
Agape
Anaé
Arlette
Arsinoe
Athénaïs
Colombe
Cybèle
Désiréee
Espérance
Genesis
Iphigénie
Irma
Isabeau
Lucrèce
MarsailiAnselme
Arsène
Athanase
Anatole
Geoffroy/Geoffroi
Gilbert
Gustave
Solomon
Théodule
Théophile
Ginger, Maureen, Indigo, Lester, Isis, Donald, Hilary.There is more, mainly from different countries.

Lunlumo, Losna, Arden, Miloslava, Medina, Elouan, Lavr, Mezamir, Amunet, Éowyn, Fulma, Lovernisca, Undina
My more fun ones (i.e. too weird, not just too popular) are Medea, Pompeia, Arsinoë, Cadmium, Evangelise, Icarus, Hemlock, and Mordred.
GP names include
Zubulon
Zimri
Hezekiah
Worth
Circe
Dorcas
Demelza
There are some word names like Fable, Solace, Loveday, Makepeace, Steadfast and Prosper that I wouldn't use as first names but perhaps I would be brave enough to choose them for quirky middle names.I like the sound of Cheyenne but I think it's disrespectful to use a Native Tribe name.I love some Greek mythological names like Ariadne and Hermione.I like the sounds of Messiah and Lucifer as well as Jezebel and Salome but wouldn't use them.

I agree on Cheyenne
Lucifer, Isis, and Lester. I like how they look and sound, just would never use them for what I hope are very obvious reasons.
What's wrong with Lester?
To a lot of people, it's "molester" without the "mo" part.

Oh. I’ve never made that connection before.
I didn’t make the connection either
Any name I find pleasurable, but probably wouldn't use due to different origins. Good examples are Avra, Zhansaya, Vardan, Thurayya... the list is endless, really.
