Unwanted baby names!

Send us your unwanted baby names

Why waste a perfectly good name like, er, Leopard?

Everybody has one. No, not one of those. We're talking about that list of brilliant but unused baby names. Most people come up with something like 2,734 good ones before having to settle on just one or two - unless, they really go nuts and knock out maybe three. But still, think of all the wasted potential...

Scooter,

Your blog is very interesting!

I am trying to locate the Nora / Norah that posted the list of actors/actresses who have played characters with the names Norah and Dan.

Sound familiar?

Thanks,

Norah

I made a long, lovely post on that board full of beautiful, unwanted names, and then found out I had to register to leave a comment! Shucks.
I guess I can't just tell you what my favorite unwanted baby names are?

I've loved the namenerds.com site for aeons, and I get so many ideas for names from here it's amazing.
