What are the most AMAZING names I've never heard of?

Hello everyone! :smiling_face:

I was just wondering if there are any names that you think are super incredible that nobody you know has heard of? I would love to hear some cool ones that most people haven’t seen before, as well as what they mean. :grin: No reason in particular! Just curious… :wink:

I LOVE [name_m]Maro[/name_m]! It’s a somewhat traditional name in the southern part of my country, and I can totally imagine myself giving that name to a son of mine in the future! I also really like [name_f]Aranza[/name_f] but spelled [name_f]Arantxa[/name_f]!

To be clear, I live under a rock and don’t know what names are more popular/have definitely been heard before, and also a lot of these names are guilty pleasures, less heard variations where I personally live, and just flat-out dormant names not used. That said!

[name_f]Accalia[/name_f] - foster mother (the human one) of [name_m]Romulus[/name_m] and [name_m]Remus[/name_m] from mythology
[name_f]Milliestone[/name_f] - variation of [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], and I’ve only seen it on nameberry
[name_f]Calendula[/name_f] - ‘little months’ or ‘little calendar’, I’m a big fan of the herb
[name_f]Gesine[/name_f] - ‘strength of a spear’ according to nameberry, variation (diminutive?) of [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
Rikke - diminutive of [name_f]Frederikke[/name_f], ‘peaceful ruler’
Wulfrun - ‘wolf’ and ‘secret, mystery’ according to some sources. Look up the history and namesake!
Tuathla and [name_f]Tuilelaith[/name_f] - old Irish, ‘princess of the people’ and ‘princess of abundance’, not used, [name_f]Talulla[/name_f] is more common now

[name_u]Kittiwake[/name_u] - a bird, most definitely a gp

[name_m]Cymbeline[/name_m] - refers to a ‘hound’ maybe the sun, used by [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m]
[name_m]Theomund[/name_m] - don’t know what to say about it. Mix or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], perhaps?
[name_m]Illarion[/name_m] - variation of [name_m]Hilarion[/name_m], ‘cheerful’
[name_m]Cristoforo[/name_m] - [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] variation, not unheard of, I just think it’s neat
[name_m]Viridius[/name_m] / [name_m]Viridios[/name_m] - that pretty green-like color, also mythology
[name_m]Aralt[/name_m] - variation of [name_m]Harold[/name_m], but sounds cooler, ‘army ruler’
