Which word would make a wonderful name?

There are some words which would make lovely names. My favourite is Obscenity. I think that would be delightful for a little girl. For some reason it has never caught on. Oblivious is nice for a boy. Has anyone else got any?

Chlamydia for a girl.

Harpsichord for a boy.

Dessicate for either I think.

Obscenity would get expelled, oblivious would be invisible and phosphorus would be explosive

I'm assuming this is a joke!

Terry Pratchett had something like this in one of his books. but they where the opposite of their names for instance bestiality Carter was very kind to animals

His brothers are
Anger Carter
Jealousy Carter
Covetousness Carter
Deviousness Carter
