unsual names that you love

[jmox]

what are some unusual names that you love? That you may not ever be brave enough to actually use but "secretly" love?

Mine is Brigitta..I have loved it since I first saw The Sound of Music when I was 7! Not sure I could ever use it but I on the down-low really like it. I also like Vera and considered using it but did not get one positive feedback about it..boo!

[reuset]

Proserpina has a lovely sound but I'd never lumber a child with the name.

Vera is great!

DH and I are watching Marco Polo in Netflix. And I really like the name 'Kotcholan'. Think it just sounds so pretty. (Mongolian name. Or possibly Chinese... I lose track of exactly who is who....)
