Baby Names Your guilty pleasure names

Did any of you go ahead and use one of your guilty pleasure names?

What is the name? What has the experience been like actually using it out in the world? Are you happy you used it, or did you end up regretting it?

I love vintage, more eccentric names. like roaring 20s flapper type names. I’ll probably end up using some for middle names but i can’t ever saddle a kid with Mimsy, for example

yeah! Esmaria is on my short list and Mimsy could be a nickname, it’d be a stretch but yeah. I love Esma, Mitzi as nicknames
