It wasn't a name for something already?
Such as Chlamydia.

  • coffee - has the soft f sound and popular ie sound
  • lawn - unisex but like a cross between Dawn and Lauren

Candida is an actual name

Rubeola and Varicella would be nice twin names. Variola (aka smallpox...) is quite nice too.

Music is a good source: Hemiola, Clef, Clarinet (good strong unisex name, I think), Trill, Fermata, Allegro, or, for the really adventurous, Acciaccatura (Accia or Tura for short).

Really liking Iodine and Lino.

I seem to remember a previous thread in this vein where someone dug out a list of names that had actually been registered in France, memorably including Anomalie.

You're missing Divan (could be unisex).
