Since one thread regarding this topic has been locked, I thought that it could be appropriate to make a fresh start on this subject.

The question here is, what name, perhaps seldom used, would you give to your child?

For me, it could be Baltfried for a boy and Ermengarde/Irmgard for a girl.

On my mental list of "Things I Can't Possibly Get Away With" is naming my (hypothetical) daughter Artoria.

In case no one knows, "childer" is at least a regional plural form for child.

Names based on brands would be really weird. I think there's some exceptions to that, like 'Ford'.

Don't stop, just proceed, 'cause this is what you need-proceed, just proceed, 'cause this is what you need!

I was thinking the other day about geography-related names (naming someone after a state, town, country, borough, etc.)

Like there are ones commonly used as names (like Austin or Virginia), ones used less frequently that still work as names (some of the ones I like are in this category, like Bristol), and ones that wouldn't work at all as names (can you imagine naming a kid "Connecticut"?)

I don't care how weird it is, I'm naming a daughter Arwen!
