Bowen sounds too like Bowel. It is also a type of skin cancer. I can see why it’s unusual.

I love Willa and Hesper

I like Allegra too OP. I also like Aurelia and Evangeline.

I like a lot of 'nature' inspired names like Storm, Winter, Sorrel and Orion.

Hesper reminds me of Herpes, so I understand what you mean. We connect certain names and sounds with other objects and things.

Tybalt? As in the Prince of Cats and all round bad guy?

I like Wren, Pearl and Nell for a girl and prefer simpler boys names - Gabe, Zach and Seb so less unusual

@17caterpillars1mouse I also like Taliesin but the pronunciation often gets butchered which is annoying. It’s 3 syllables not 4, Tal-YES-in not tal-ee-ES-in.
