Names out of your ethnicity

Just a question of curiosity here: are there any names you love but would never use as they're out of your ethnicity? I know a little boy called Suraj and my colleague is called Mojisola - both of which I think are gorgeous but would never use as I feel they're perhaps too grounded in each person's background.

Anyone else got any names they like in this vein?

Gigi, you see, is a boy's name! (here at least)

My friend "had" to call her son Giovanni (after the dead grandad) and was seeething about it because she said it was so old-fashioned. I always liked both Giovanni and Giovanna, but people roar at me.
