[Opinions] Your craziest guilty pleasure “noun” names!
I mean crazy out of the box noun names that you would probably never use. Animals, things, occupations, rare virtues…
Mine are
Girls: Amity, Bliss, Clemency, Charity, Coco, Coriander, Ginger, Holiday, Indigo, Lyric, Meadow, Mercy, Merry, Meadow, Piper, Poema, River, Sailor / Saylor, Sparrow, Starling.
Boys: Blaze, Darwin, Newton, Peregrine
Unisex: Halo, Hero, Poem, Poet, Raven, Story, Phoenix, Sage, Wolf
These are crazy next to my usual “boring” style of Elizabeth and David, I know.
What “crazy” noun names do you secretly love?

Great list, I love so many of these (obviously Primrose is my favourite girls name ❤️) they’re just not guilty pleasures for me - Robin, Pearl, Rosemary, Rose, Fern, Iris, Jasper, Joy, Hope, Juniper, Lark, Marigold, Holly, Hazel, Verity, Wren, and of course Primrose. I’d use all of these in real life! 😂
Boys:
Lotus
Carillon
Revolution
Bohemian "Bo"
Oleander
Girls:
Anemone / Anemoon (Dutch version)
Amaryllis
Solstice
Other girls names are too accepted to merit Crazy as a label

I like a ton of word names and don't feel embarassed about it. :)
But from your list, even though I like Bliss, Charity, Coriander, Mercy, Merry, Starling, Newt, Peregrine, Poem, Sage, Wolf...I'd probably only consider Peregrine IRL.
These are some uncommon word names I'd maybe consider...
Thyme
Knowledge
Patience
Verbena
Vesper
Temperance
Sojourner
Epiphany
Promise
Yarrow
These are ones I sort of like but doubt I'd actually consider (at least right now)...
Clarity
Sterling
Oleander
Memphis
Herald
Halcyon
Denmark
Providence
Renaissance
Nightingale
Evergreen
Dream
Denim
Prunella
Amethyst
Lilac
Venus
Neptune
Gardenia
Diamond
Delta
Treasure
Norn
Fauna
Rainbow
Mahogany
Ebony
Cherry
Blossom
Apple
Garnet
Equinox
Wave
Solaris
Hyacinth
Jubilee
Symphony
Modesty
Merlin
Bard
Troubadour
Noir
Teal
Quest
Quintessence
Charisma
Solace
Remedy

Well, I will list names that are actually guilty pleasures, and not names that I think are generally accepted (i.e., Ivy, Autumn, etc. is technically a noun, but it is generally accepted as a first name):
Amethyst, Dove, Winter, Lyric, Trinity, Serenity
From your list, I like: Indigo, Meadow, River, Story, Phoenix, and Sage. I personally know a Sage, Ginger, Phoenix, Sailor, Charity, and Lyric (I've actually interacted with many Lyrics working in social services! Probably more Lyrics than Olivias).

I love Sailor / Saylor, Echo, and Raven in particular.
I must confess to genuinely liking Bliss, Amity, Clemency, River, Sage, and Piper, not just as GPs.
Others from your list:
Charity, Coco, Ginger, Indigo, Lyric, Meadow, Merry, Sparrow, Blaze, Peregrine, Halo, Hero, Story, Phoenix, Wolf
I've always thought of Peregrine as a boys name but I overheard a mother calling her little girl Peregrine at the playground the other day.
I'll add some of my own if I think of them later.
ETA:
What about Evanescent, Fluorescent, and Opalescent? Those are cool.

Darwin's a noun name? I think of it as a surname name. I like it too (as a kinda gp). I don't think of River as a gp
From yours I love these: Amity, River, Raven
and like these: Ginger, Meadow, Darwin, Phoenix
Halo is a super GP. I think it sounds kinda cool as a name. But reminds me too much of the video game and also the idea of a halo is not namey. It's ... better than Aura though!!
Others have listed these that I like: Hart, Merit, Valor, Cherry
Also I like Tarn and Diamond and Ivory and Star and Zephyr.
Fairlight? March (the month). Marsh (full name). Cedar.
Conifer.
I think it'd be great fun to name someone Fire.
I think the word Rail has an appealing sound as a name. The G outweighs the P though. Can't quite imagine forgetting the word.
Not-GPs that I like (excluding flowers): Dale, Summer, Sienna, Mavis, Penny, Liberty, Laurel, Lark, Griffin, Hunter, Forest, Ember, Emerald, Eden, Drake, Sherry

Got to admit my love for some of these!
For some reason, and this may be my Machiavellianism coming out, I've always loved Spite and Eris. Octave (I would use Octavia, though), Compassion, Whisp, Meadow, Melancholy, Petal, Cinnamon, Gloaming, Stamen, Xenia
80% sure that was just me listing random words I liked. Thanks for the (as always!) fun and interesting prompt :)
