Names that make you go "wow"?

[Giinnybeaulove]

Curious post - What names have you heard previously or if you heard them would make you go "wow" (in good way) or a name you'd think was simply sublime? Interested to hear your wow names

Elvis. Huckleberry. Perla

Amber

Sienna

I liked Boris years ago but less now

Tiffany

Hugo

Angelo

Cleo

Chloe

"Sacha" with a "ch" as in "loch", or "Sascha/Sasha", as in the short form of Alexander?

I knew a Valentina at school, her parents were Greek and Mum and I thought it was a gorgeous name. There was another girl at school called Anastasia, which I love too.

Recent names:
Eilidh
Cordelia
Ffion

Morven is gorgeous, never met one though.

Neighbors DD is called Percy (full name Persephone). I thought it was lovely.

Oh I love Lysander too

Bane & bronson - wow what a pair of awful names, made even worse that there's two

Tom Hardy played both of them, very much a 'Wow' imo....and a 'ooooo' and an 'ahhhh'....

I have a Sacha
Sasha tends to be a girl and Sascha tends to be Russian I think
@turnandfacethenamechange I love Lysander

I once knew a Hereward and I still think that's the coolest name ever.

When I was 15, I met a baby girl called Phaedra and I adored it!

Euphemia
Octavia
Antonia

Wolfric
Beowulf
Aldric

Celestine is my girl wow name. I've only ever met one, well over 30 years ago so it was even more wow then!

I've always loved Madeleine, Genevieve and Arabella for girls. Malachi is my 'wow' boys name - wasn't brave though though to use for either of my children!

I have a Sacha
Sasha tends to be a girl and Sascha tends to be Russian I think

No, the different spellings reflect different languages:

Sacha - French
Sascha - German
Sasha - Russian

They're generally boys names, short for Alexander.

A wow name for me is Elon Musk's recent baby!

Balonz is a Surrey name, A12 is an Essex name. Maybe Elon is from Essex?

Oh, just read that Baby A12 isn't allowed to be called that after all.

Tiger

Cheryl (is it still Cole?) choice of 'Bear Payne' made us go 'Wow'...

Round here that's something you say when you stub your toe...'Did it hurt?'...' 'Oh I was in 'Bear Payne'.....

Annie for a girl. I just think it’s gorgeous. Alexander for a boy

Gabriel

Good wow or bad wow? I once saw the name 'Gobnat' in my baby name book. I think its Irish? Perhaps it sounds beautiful in Gaelic but written down...

I've tried saying 'Gobnat' in every accent in my head @IdblowJohnSnow - not one that doesn't sound like an insult, or a sentence that starts with 'shut yer face you.......'

(I REALLY hope no-one comes on now I says they've just named theirs that!)

Cuthbert. An excellent young actor from a deprived inner-city area. I hope his name means his parents are very aspirational for him and he manages to pursue his acting.

@Taddda It's more like G-aah bneyt. St Gobnait's actually got a lovely story about healing the sick with honey, albeit lower key than many Saints stories but it's anglicized to Deborah. If you like the story I think you'd be more likely to go for Abigail which is another alternative name.
