*HELP* Struggling to find unusual names to go with the surname *Mann*

I'm having a really hard time trying to find names because of my fiance's surname Mann! We like unusual names but they just sound stupid with his surname! His ideas have Maverick, for a boy and Missy for a girl! The more I think of names the more I think that nothing actually goes!! It's going to be bad enough when we marry and I'm going to be Mrs Mann but think of our daughter Miss Missy Mann! He actually really likes this name! I think he's crazy! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I was taught by a Dougie Mann. He was lovely.

I think Mann is a great name!

I would want to avoid extreme rhyming personally. But

Emily Mann
Charlotte Mann
Elizabeth Mann

Everything I can think of sounds fine.

I would avoid Ms maybe
Millicent Mann (not good)
Miranda Mann etc

Ms not good somehow, but it's sounds like a great solid British name to me.

As him if he would like that name as his own? Trust me, my first name begins with M and my marital surname begins with M. I often get the mick take n outen of me by people saying "MMM, tasty" at me.

why not pick the names you like and then give the children your surname as well.

Ms Missy Mann-Smyth doesn't sound quite as bad.
