What are your favorite names? - eviltoast

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.

    In Hinduism, Ananda means something akin to ecstatic or joyous, and swamis will often take it as part of their name. Such as Vivekananda, or Yogananda. I’ve always loved that, and Vivekananda is a major player in forming my personal philosophies about life.
