Cooley (u): A surname name of [name_m]Irish[/name_m] origin, Cooley is either an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name [name_m]Mac[/name_m] Giolla Chúille, meaning “son of the servant of Mochúille”, or a shortened form of McCooley. Most of the people who have borne this name appear to be males, though there are a few instances when it’s been given to females.
Ormán (m): A name of Hungarian origin with an uncertain meaning.
Orman (m): Very possibly derived from the [name_f]English[/name_f] [name_m]Norman[/name_m]. Orman is also a variant of [name_m]Ormond[/name_m], a variant of the Hungarian name Ormán (see above), and a Turkish topographical name meaning “wood, forest”.
[name_m]Corinthian[/name_m] and Corinthians (u): Far more familiar as a part of the Bible than as a given name, Corinthian(s) is a name of Greek origin meaning “from Corinth”. If [name_m]Corinthian[/name_m] is rare, Corinthians is rarer, though both have been used (according to findagrave.com) for both genders.
Heylyn (m) and Heilyn (u): Heylyn is a Brythonic surname, rarely used as a given name. Heilyn is its Welsh form and is the first name of a figure in Celtic mythology. Both mean “cup-bearer”. The Heilyn form is occasionally given to females.
Hallyn (u): [name_m]An[/name_m] Anglo-Saxon habitational surname name derived from the Old [name_f]English[/name_f] word hall, meaning "stony”.
Hailin (u): A Chinese place name meaning “sea forest” or “boundless forest”. It’s a rare choice for a given name, but definitely one that has potential.
Hailynn, Hailyn, Haylin, Haylin, Haylynn, etc. (f): Modern invented names combining [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] (or any spelling variant of) and Lyn(n) / Lin(n). Much like [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] itself, Hailynn has many spelling variants.

Independence (u): A rare (nowadays) word name meaning “freedom”. Independence seems to have peaked in use during the 1800s. While many would assume baby Independence would be a female, the name has actually been borne by quite a few males over the years. Independence has many potential nicknames, making it more approachable than it may seem at first. [name_f]Indy[/name_f], [name_f]Penny[/name_f], [name_m]Penn[/name_m], [name_m]Denny[/name_m], and [name_f]Cici[/name_f] are just a few of the nickname possibilities.

It is both the name of an [name_f]Amazonian[/name_f] woody vine (scientifically known as Paullinia pinnata) that contains a fish poison and an Argentinian timber tree (scientifically known as Enterolobium timbouva). In the case of rapper Timbo [name_m]King[/name_m] (who I don’t know much about), Timbo appears to be short for [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] (his birth name).
Awstun (m): [name_m]An[/name_m] obscure spelling variant of [name_m]Austin[/name_m].

If I am not mistaken, the character was actually directly named after the Hawaiian word! I don’t think it is used as a name in Japanese (or as a feminine name in Hawaiian). It does sound cute and unisex though, so I wouldn’t be too surprised to hear of little girls named [name_m]Liko[/name_m] in the future.

Liko in a Japanese media context could be a variant transcription of Riko (a popular Japanese girls’ name). L and R are interchangeable in Japanese.

Good point! I was thinking of the fact that Pokemon characters are regularly named directly or indirectly after plants (in the games at least― I’m not as familiar with the animated series) but you might be on to something here.

One of Riko’s meanings is ‘‘white jasmine’’ so I still think that fits! From what I can find, [name_m]Liko[/name_m] is a romanization of [name_f]Riko[/name_f] and her name is [name_f]Riko[/name_f] in the Japanese version of the series

Some ancient Egyptian names, because I’ve recently gotten curious about them:
Ahhotep (f): A name of Egyptian origin meaning “Iah is satisfied” or “the moon is satisfied”.
Ahmose (f): This Ancient Egyptian name is in the database as a masculine name, though it was also used for several known females. It also means “The moon is born” or “child of the moon”. In the database, its meaning is listed as "born of god Iah”, which makes sense too, as Iah was an Ancient Egyptian moon deity.
Ahmose-Henuttamehu (f): This hyphenated combination of the Egyptian names Ahmose and Henuttamehu was used for a princess and queen in Ancient Egypt.
Ahmose-Nefertari (f):This hyphenated combination of the Egyptian names Ahmose and Nefertari was used for a queen in Ancient Egypt.
Akhenaten (m): A name of Egyptian origin meaning “effective for the Aten”. The likely father of King Tut, Akhenaten is possibly most well known for abandoning the original Egyptian religion and worshipping a deity named Aten (for whom he named himself). His new religion was… not popular, to say the least, and the Egyptians returned to their original gods after his death. His name was lost to history for many years afterward.
Akhethetep, Akhethetep, and Akhethotep (m): Spelled all three ways, this is a name of Egyptian origin with an unknown meaning.
Amenemhat and Amenemhēt (m): A name, spelled both ways, of Egyptian origin meaning “Amun is in front”.
Amenemhatankh (m): A name of Egyptian origin meaning “Amenemhat lives”.
Amenemope, Amenemopet, Amenemipet and Amunemopet (u): All versions of the same name, of Egyptian origin and meaning “Amun in Luxor”.
Amenhotep (m): A name of Egyptian origin meaning “Amun is pleased" or "Amun is satisfied”. Amenhotep, as well as being the name of several other Pharaohs, was the birth name of Pharaoh Akhenaten, the likely father of King Tut.
Amenirdis (u), Amonardis (u), Amenirdisu (m), and Amenirdiset (f): All variants of the same name, which is of Egyptian origin and means "he/she was given by Amun”.
Amenmose, Amenmoses, Amenmesses, and Amenmesse (m): All variants of the same name, which is of Egyptian origin and has an unknown meaning.
Amenophis (m): The Greek version of Amenhotep.
Ameny (m): An ancient Egyptian short form of Amenemhat (or likely and other name beginning with Amen-). It likely also stood on its own as a name. It could catch on in the modern world, unlike a lot of other ancient Egyptian names, given that it is short and has a simple pronunciation.
Ammanémēs and Ammenémēs (m): The Hellenized forms of Amenemhat / Amenemhēt.
Ankhesenpepi, Ankhesenpepy, Ankhenespepi, and Ankhenespepy (f): All variants of the same name, which is of Egyptian origin and means “her life belongs to Pepi”. For at least two of them, this meaning could be taken literally: they were married to Pharaoh Pepi l.
Iah (m): A name of Egyptian origin, Iah means “moon”. Quite fitting, as he was a moon deity.
Henuttamehu (f): A name of Egyptian origin meaning “mistress of Lower Egypt”.

More ancient Egyptian names:
Djehuty and Djehuti (m): Both variants of the same name, which is of Egyptian origin and appears to have an unknown meaning. Aside from being borne by several mortal Egyptians, the Djehuty spelling is another name for Thoth, the Ancient Egyptian god of wisdom.

Duathathor-Henuttawy (f): A hyphenated combination of two ancient Egyptian names, Duathathor, which means "adorer of Hathor”, and Henuttawy, which means “mistress of the two lands”. This was the name of a princess (later queen) in ancient [name_f]Egypt[/name_f].

Hui (u): [name_m]An[/name_m] alternate spelling of [name_m]Huy[/name_m], an ancient Egyptian nickname for [name_m]Amenhotep[/name_m].
Iset and Aset (f): Names of Egyptian origin meaning “she of the throne”. [name_f]Isis[/name_f], the name of a well-known ancient Egyptian goddess, wife of [name_m]Osiris[/name_m] and mother of [name_m]Horus[/name_m], may not be usable anymore. But, perhaps, these two related names could be. Fun fact: Iset is also a nature name, being the name of a river in [name_f]Russia[/name_f].
Isetemkheb and Asetemakhbit (f): Both names of Egyptian origin. They may mean "Isis is in Panopolis” or "Isis is in Chemmis”, though this is debated. Chances are, the meaning does contain [name_f]Isis[/name_f], given that the name Iset / Aset is present (see above).
Isetnofret, Isetneferet, Isitnofret, Isisnofret, and Isis-nofret (f): Names of Egyptian origin meaning “Isis (or Iset) is beautiful”.

Montu, according to Wikipedia, was initially a manifestation of the scorching effect of [name_m]Ra[/name_m], the sun, and first appeared under the name Montu-Ra. The ancient Egyptians thought that Montu would attack the enemies of Maat, the concept of truth. With the friendly nickname of [name_m]Monty[/name_m], these names could catch on in the modern world.
Montu-Ra (m): The initial name of the ancient Egyptian god Montu combines his name, meaning “nomad”, with [name_m]Ra[/name_m], another deity name meaning “sun”. So, the name technically means “the nomadic sun”.
