I have several but Tycho and Ivar/Ivor are two of mine.

What are yours?

Dustin after my love for The Stranger Things character. Gets slaughtered on here and by IRL people though lol.

I loved Roberta but DH hated it. I didn't have any properly "out there" names, although when I was a teenager I planned to name my firstborn Eucalyptus Tree Confused Tree was going to be her middle name. So glad I had kids later in life!

Sidalee. It’s from Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood.

Lysander. I’d probably use it too, if DH wasn’t part of the everyone who hates it.
