Shows up in Harry Potter as Olympe Maxime, headmistress of the French wizard school Beauxbatons. Olympe de Gouge, a French revolutionarie, wrote a declaration of the rights of women in 1791, and was executed by the guillotine.
To me, and to most English speakers (presumably), this name, its spelling and pronunciation appear perpetually strange, although I quite like its odd, strange, foreign look. :)
