What are some character names that if you saw in a book’s blurb, would make you want to buy it on the spot just because you love the name so much?

These are names that I would love to see on a female character, I can’t think of any male names right now.

Unusual (to non-namenerds) vintage names like [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], or magical sounding names that aren’t just random syllables!

My WIP has a [name_f]Runa[/name_f] and an [name_f]Elysande[/name_f]! [name_m]Don[/name_m]’t know if [name_f]Runa[/name_f] counts, lol.
I bought Dear Lupin for this very reason 
Also Florin or Corin for a boy; Anouk, Ismay or Pippin for a girl 
Something about the -in names clearly appeals to me, especially for characters. I think it’s because they’re cute and kind of elfin, but feel simple and grounded too. I’m a sucker for -in ending names generally!

Thanks! Ooh I’d love to meet a little [name_f]Runa[/name_f], that’s not terribly likely where I live but someday hopefully.
It’s very simple but, [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. It’s my favourite name and I love seeing characters with the name, it helps me to visualise it on an actual person and I like how [name_f]Rose[/name_f] just works on different people.
