..What other names might I like?

I'm looking for a name which has absolutely no personal or cultural significance for me or my family, which clearly denotes to other parents that I'm terribly well-educated and artistic while simultaneously suggesting that I don't care in the least what other people think.

Ladies, can you help?

Is that 'ricecake' with a long ay sound or would you favour the Japanese pronunciation of ka-kay at the end?

I'm a bit worried that the Ancient Greek thing is becoming too popular. What do you think of Tamurlane Marsupial and Amber-Gris?

I would go with the original Timur but I think it has nasty connotations. Does Genghis sound too harsh? I could soften the g so it sounds more French?

Ffs NigellasDealer, it's 2:38 a.m. and I am trying to make myself tired with a little light internet surfing. You are making me cry with laughter and now I am never going to get any sleep this night!
