Inspire me with surprising names

Im looking for suprising names.

Either really unusual or something hidden in plain sight like everyday words or famous surnames, village names.
I adore whimsical, hippy,enchanted, fantasy names and open to never heard on a person but usuable.

I have such a love for the truly unique and on the hunt for my next bunch of names to consider.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] but the moped puts me off :tired_face: [name_f]Hesper[/name_f] is my alternative.
Same problem with [name_f]Astra[/name_f], me and my hubby like ot but there is a car, Vauxhall [name_f]Astra[/name_f] plus the medical company [name_f]Astra[/name_f] Zeneca :broken_heart:

[name_f]Tove[/name_f] (Toe-Vah) is also on my list
But Tovie is Tovie :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes: been on our list ages.

Some Italian names uncommon in other countries (but that are somehow common here):

Flaminia
Diletta
Azzurra
Lavinia

I recommended them because I thought to share some names from where I live that are surprising for English speakers.

Other names but they are uncommon too:

Zaira
Endelienta
Biancaluna
Antonina
Rosalinda
Parisatide / Parisatis
Laurentina
Meridiana
Jolanda / Iolanda (Pronounced both like Yolanda, Iolanda)
Mirtale (Myrtale originally)
Altaluna
Miruna / Mileva
Corisenda
Morgana
Ermengarda
Durlindana (Variants: Durindana, Durindarda, Durendala)
Vivendiana
Statira
Artemisia
Melisenda
Fiammetta
Galatea

Oh your list is so exciting!!!
