Demetria
Desdemona
Electra
Elsinore
Embla
Emeretienne
Eris
Faustine
Galatea
Galilea
Godeliva
Guinevere
Gustava
Havilah
Hecate "Catie"
Ingrid
Kassiani
Keturah (I love this so much, but I think people think it's too weird)
Koralia
Liadan
Lovisa (It'd be mistaken for Louisa aaaaalll the time)
Ludovica
Mahalath (love how ancient this sounds, and the meaning)
Mariamne
Matea / Mattea
Merab (I admit, I like this cos it's so odd/ugly)
Mireio
Nahal
Nahla
Naia

Perdita
Phaedra
Rocio

Zenobia
Zipporah
Amadeus
Amraphel
Aramund

Balthazar

Cornelius
Edgar

Emmanuel
Fenris
Ignatius

I like all these names, but I do suspect they're just a little too bit out-there to use in real life. I'd totally use these as names for pets or middle names, but as first names... well, if I used them on kids, not sure they'd thank me. I still want to! And funnily enough, this is a huge chunk of my PNL.
Anyway, anyone think any of these would work in real life?

I am acquainted with a Cornelius and Titus. I didn't find their names peculiar when we first met, so I consider them usable. Ingrid is lovely, and I have met an Inga, which is similar but not quite as pretty. You might be able to get away with Allegra as a first name since it is easily shortened to Allie if your daughter objected to her full name. I am also a fan of Amadeus but am only brave enough to use it for a middle name.
