Re: Why is it called "guilty pleasures"?
in reply to a message by Caprice
I take it to mean names that you like but deem unusable for reasons other than personal associations, or like others have said, make you feel guilty because you know they're bad (say, if you liked Renesmee or Nevaeh). I don't call any of the names I like guilty pleasures, because I don't feel guilty about them and I'm probably not having kids. However, if I were to have children I have an idea of what I'd consider usable and not. For instance, I love the name Arshtat because of a character in a video game (it actually originates in Zoroastrianism) but know that it wouldn't work on an actual child.
