Isn't Stefonknee the 52-year-old man who transitioned to a 6-year-old girl?

Yes, unfortunately. I remember reading that revolting story as well.

On the topic of the "Obscure" category: What Rachel Shaina said ;)Now, as for the name Kesaia - it's not an obscure name. Some anonymous submitter had only labelled it as such and it's one of the names that no editor had gotten around to double-checking yet. I just did so and it turned out to be a Fijian name. From what little I know about Fijian names (and that's very little, I'll give you that ;) ), I suspect it might be a Fijian adoption of Keziah.

I don't have much to say about these (I have seen them; I've assigned the 'obscure' usage to some of them myself).But here's our definition of Obscure, for anyone curious: Obscure is a very rare name (usually we can only find one person, sometimes two, with it as a name). Because it's so rare, we can't put an origin on it. It's similar to 'Various', but with Various, we can find many people with the name, but they don't have a background in common (like they all live in different countries and speak different languages).

Peachtreanna, Stefonknee and especially Dancell-Dallphebo-Mrke-Antony-Dallery-Gallery-Cesar made me laugh out loud.
Gwenynen does indeed mean bee in Welsh. It's been used exactly once ever in Wales as a name, according to records, so yup, definitely obscure.
Stellanora is kind of nice and I've seen it before somewhere, but can't think where.
Nothing to say about any of the others!

Hi FelieI have never seen these names^^ and some are very..special xD Well, I made some speculations:Adriatte (m)? Maybe Adria with additional ending -ette.
Ajouah (f)? no idea.
Akadsa (f)? Maybe from Agacia?
Arkysha (f)? A variant of Archisha?
Allizon (f variant spelling of Alison)? I agree.
Anastacius (m variant of Anastasius)? I agree.
Aylon (m)? like Waylon without the W^^
Bedejim (m)? A combination with Jim. But it looks a bit like bosnian or something.
Chinarra (f variant of Chinara)? I agree.
Dancell-Dallphebo-Mrke-Antony-Dallery-Gallery-Cesar (m)? Wow. I do really not know what happened here.
Egyptia (f elaborated from Egypt)? I agree.
Giunëur (m 'son of his father' Wolof)? no idea.
Gwenynen (f directly taken from Welsh gwenynen "bee", this name was adopted by Augusta Hall, Baroness Llanover, a Welsh heiress, best known as a patron of the Welsh arts, as her bardic name Gwenynen Gwent "the bee of Gwent")? well, it is explained and I know nothing about welsh. So I am okay with that ;)
Kesaia (f)? Maybe like Cesia?
Militza (f variant of Militsa. This was the name Duchess Jutta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz took after her marriage to the heir apparent of Montenegro Prince Danilo and her conversion to Orthodoxy)? looks really like a variant of Militsa.
Miradora (f combination of Mira and Dora)? from spanish mirador ("look-out")?
Niambia (f)? looks like rearranged Namibia. Maybe a Nia and Abia bond?
Peachtreanna (f 'peach tree' and Anna)? I agree with you. But it is very strange.
