There was this book I loved when I was little and the character was [name_f]Celestine[/name_f]. I see Clesete and other variants, but I never see this version. Anyway, I loved that name (and still do).

I don’t know if these are obscure enough (but they’re not common either) some were character names that I loved from the TV show [name_f]Xena[/name_f]/[name_m]Hercules[/name_m] (still love some of them), but I doubt I would ever use them.
