But Moon Unit has a nice twang to it.

Russian Eastern Orthodox Old Church believers have fancy names, such as Evdokia (female) or Liverius (male). They are really uncommon because of a small population of Old Believers.

Claire

Never met a Claire I didn't like.

Claire is very common in France

Teacher here. Anything can be a name. Trust me. I've seen things...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

anything is a name, if you are brave enough

Leila. I just love it. It's so feminine. I'll name my daughter that if I ever have a daughter.

The only person I met with that name, and only in small amounts, is Henrietta Lacks.

This person would probably be able to get away with living in the US without too many looks but this is a slang term for vagina in the UK so they might have a rough childhood there.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It’s a slang term for ass in the US, so I’m guessing they’d get shit for it here, too.

Isn't that just a diminutive of Frances?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have no idea.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No, it's a Southern French name.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I love that that is the name of the mascot for 'big ass fans' they have a donkey (ass) called Fanny.

In Dutch, there's an archaic name 'Joke', pronounced yo kuh. But in a more multilingual world it has practically disappeared.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Carroll.

Mostly guys had that name, though it was pretty neat.

There's a content creator called Aoife on the Eurogamer YouTube channel. I think the name is Irish/Gaelic, or something like that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What country are you in? I know at least a couple of Aoife's (in the UK), so would imagine it's still pretty popular in Ireland itself!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm in Finland, but most of the entertainment I consume is from the UK/US. Aoife just sounds quite different from all the other names I keep hearing so I assumed it's rare, but I'm glad to be wrong because the name is still cool.
