What are some of your favorite out of the ordinary names from history, religion, or fiction? Could be the name of a person, animal, place, etc.

I've really always liked the name Bellerephon from Greek mythology. I also like the name of the home planet of the Time Lords from Dr. Who, Gallifrey, as well as Rassilon, a Time Lord.

:) Nice one! Thanks

That is an impressive list! I know a person who collects words that sound cool, I should probably start doing something like that as well.

:) That's an idea from the film The Interpreter. I like nice sounding words too.
