Are there any names that you love the meaning or signifcance of, but could never bring yourself to name a child because they are just, well, so UGLY? Here are mine...
Beulah -- Biblical name; means "she who is to be married." God calls the nation of Israel this Israel turns back to Him after a period of rebellion. Beautiful meaning, but now it conjures up images of a very large woman living in a trailer park in the South.
Hephzibah -- Biblical name; means "my delight is in her." This was also the name of a sweet little girl in George Eliot's "Silas Marner." But it's just awful, awful, awful!
Artemis -- Greek goddes of wisdom, chastity, and the hunt. Who wouldn't want a daughter who was wise, pure, and strong? Pair it with a one-syllable last name, however, and your daughter will sound like a Transformer. "I am Artemis Gray"... or is she really Optimus Prime?
