Bob the Knob.

Any name has teasing potential if someone wants to find it, might as well find something you love no matter how unusual.

Well if this thread proves anything it's that people have wildly different ideas about sophisticated.

Amaryllis is recognised as a name. It's used as a stock female character, often a shepherdess ("and sport with Amaryllis in the shade" - so definitely literary, but possibly not sophisticated...)

Priscilla is a strong character from the book of Acts. Probably rare enough nowadays to tick all your boxes.
