HelpRe: Why is it called "guilty pleasures"?
in reply to a message by Caprice
The term itself just means something that you like to indulge in that you know you "shouldn't." Like a stupid TV show or piece of cheesecake. So with names it should just mean names that you like that by your name standards should be bad. But people tend to apply the term to any name you like but wouldn't use, which is using the term pretty loosely.

Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking but worded more elegantly.
For guilty pleasure names are names that I love but would never use on an actual child because if I did they'd be justified in killing me in my sleep, like Zarathustra. As opposed to Emily which I love but can't use it because it's my cousins name, I don't think that makes it a guilty pleasure.
