What are some rare and beautiful girls, boys and neutral names? Possibly not modern and invented, rather I like names with a meaning, a history behind it, it can be from a fantasy book, or be from the actual story of a warrior, a queen, in real life, or from a piece of literature, opera exc, but it has to have a meaning or history, and to be rare
