Just kidding, that one is terrible.
But Moon Unit has a nice twang to it.

Russian Eastern Orthodox Old Church believers have fancy names, such as Evdokia (female) or Liverius (male). They are really uncommon because of a small population of Old Believers.
Claire
Never met a Claire I didn't like.
Claire is very common in France
"C'est claire !"
I mean ; "C'est Claire !"
Real
testing
That's also my favorite name
Testing is a name?
Teacher here. Anything can be a name. Trust me. I've seen things...
anything is a name, if you are brave enough
Leila. I just love it. It's so feminine. I'll name my daughter that if I ever have a daughter.
Curious: would you pronounce Leila as: Lay-lah Or Lie-lah I've seen it pronounced both ways with the same spelling, and have a relative named Leila and pronounced Lie-lah.
Lay-lah. At least that's how we pronounce it here (the Balkans). It's a Muslim name around here, Bosnian. But, I don't really give AF, I like the name (not Muslim BTW).
My son's name is Ilin, which is pronounced Eileen in English, and mine is Yane (written as Jane), so you could imagine setting up a date with Eileen and Jane in the US and two guys show up π.
Henrietta
The only person I met with that name, and only in small amounts, is Henrietta Lacks.
Fanny
This person would probably be able to get away with living in the US without too many looks but this is a slang term for vagina in the UK so they might have a rough childhood there.
Itβs a slang term for ass in the US, so Iβm guessing theyβd get shit for it here, too.
Isn't that just a diminutive of Frances?
I have no idea.
No, it's a Southern French name.
I love that that is the name of the mascot for 'big ass fans' they have a donkey (ass) called Fanny.
Midge
In Dutch, there's an archaic name 'Joke', pronounced yo kuh. But in a more multilingual world it has practically disappeared.
Carroll.
Mostly guys had that name, though it was pretty neat.
There's a content creator called Aoife on the Eurogamer YouTube channel. I think the name is Irish/Gaelic, or something like that.
What country are you in? I know at least a couple of Aoife's (in the UK), so would imagine it's still pretty popular in Ireland itself!
I'm in Finland, but most of the entertainment I consume is from the UK/US. Aoife just sounds quite different from all the other names I keep hearing so I assumed it's rare, but I'm glad to be wrong because the name is still cool.
