Favourite uncommon names?

[Shahab814@yahoo.com]

I have lots, but here are a few off the top of my head (mostly from myth / folktales)...

Male
Jamshyd [pronounced: jahm - sheed] (Iranian) - I love this one so much, I actually use it as a middle name!
Balthazar (Probably Canaanite)
Melkarth (Phoenician)
Hidad (Phoenician)
Demitri/Demitrius (ancient Greek/Latin)

Female
Persephone [purse - e - phoney ] (ancient Greek)
Jilnaar (Iranian)
Magdalena (Hebrew)
Miranda (Latin)
Judith (Hebrew)

(I think the last two aren't very uncommon, but oh well ).

So share yours!
