Unusual baby name suggestions

We named our DC from characters or places from fandoms, books, movies etc that we liked. The names are quite unusual but not unheard of but probably quite outing if I added them here.

Wondering if anyone can give some suggestions for the name of our next DC (gender unknown) based on our likes...

  • Doctor Who
  • Rock/Punk music/bands
  • Lord of the rings
  • Harry Potter
  • Disney/Pixar
  • DC and marvel
  • Astrology
  • Jurassic Park and 80s classic films like breakfast club etc

Basically we just need a starting point as currently at a total loss!

LOTR is packed with wonderful names, Arwen, Radagast,Thoeden, Faramir, Goldberry, are just a few that spring to mind.
