Seen this somewhere else before and it threw out some brilliant names and unusual choices so....
your guilty pleasure names, names you love but perhaps wouldn’t use

Boys- Jago, Inigo, Murdo, Nash, Hector

Girls- Vesper, Noor, Paloma, Farrah, Margot

Unfortunately these children would be eaten alive in your average primary school around here but I may still use Margot given the chance. We also cannot use some normal names because my DH doesn't like the way we pronounce them locally- eg. Peter becomes "Pee-dur" Grin

Brutus that's probably another reason why Rahab not a good idea Grin She was a brave (although "unrespectable") woman in the Bible, that's why I like it.
