Re: What would you suggest?

It'd depend on the person. I might go for names from ancient cultures that aren't in common use, or medieval names, or obscure gods/goddesses, or unusual Latin plant names. Someone else might like fantasy-type names, or South American-style mashups.
Would you be wanting an actual list here eh eh?

Yes! List away! Almost all my suggestions for them are not unique enough. It's an interesting challenge!

I like Fritha! I came across one about ten years ago when I temped for an insurance company and made a note of it. I have always wanted to use one in a story.
