What are your favorite names?

What are some of your favorite out of the ordinary names from history, religion, or fiction? Could be the name of a person, animal, place, etc.

I've really always liked the name Bellerephon from Greek mythology. I also like the name of the home planet of the Time Lords from Dr. Who, Gallifrey, as well as Rassilon, a Time Lord.

  • Thelsim: I like my name :)

    Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit: Bangkok's full name. It makes it sound very stately, I wish there were more cities that did this.

    Mormel: Our late cat's name. The literal translation is mongrel, but it's gotten a completely different meaning for me. Also in Chinese pronunciation it sounds like māo māo, which just means "cat cat" :)
