Amongst all the usual suspects I have some nice unusual names in my tree; Ivanhoe, Everett, Wilmot, Vivian, Selvio but a lot of Johns. A lot.

Remi and François (as you can guess I grew up abroad)
François was an abusive alcoholic arsehole though so I wouldn't go for that. Remi, on the other hand, was and is an absolutely wonderful man.
