Stunning Meaning, Bad Sounding Name?

General Name Discussion

So I’ve seen polls about beautiful-sounding names with bad meanings (Tisiphone, anyone?), but so far I haven’t seen any vice-versa. So, what are some names that you LOVE the meanings of but don’t like the sound (if you could include the meaning, origin, gender, the better!)? For me, I came up with the idea for this poll after finding a female Mapuche name that meant :sparkles: CELESTIAL WATERFALL FROM HEAVEN :sparkles: which I thought was just so pretty , but was unusable and had a ton of clashy sounds. You don’t have to HATE the sounds of these names necessarily- they just aren’t your favorites.
Others:

Lamberta (actually don’t hate, Lam just nags at me) (g) [name_m]German[/name_m]: [name_u]Bright[/name_u] [name_u]Land[/name_u]
Ermintrude (g) [name_m]German[/name_m]: Entire [name_f]Beloved[/name_f]
Hagley (b) [name_f]English[/name_f]: Enclosed [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
Ugutz (b) Basque: [name_m]God[/name_m] is [name_f]Gracious[/name_f]

Also, there’s a ton of unpronounceable X names I could never use but have great meanings…
So what do you guys have?

[name_f]Mary[/name_f] (and her family of other-language versions as well as many variants) comes first to mind to me! Meaning “bitter,” which is unfortunate—but also sometimes meaning “drop of the sea,” which is very nice. Not sure which is the way.
