    It was “Ea-nasir”, until that one guy ruined the name for the rest of us.

    I don't know how to objectively answer a subjective question.

    My name is awesome but I would literally dox myself. I can't tell anyone because I'm actually the only person that has it (except for 2 other people)

    Unless my math is wrong, 3 people with the same name doesn't make you the only one. Make it make sense!

    Alexander and Benjamin for boys. Catherine and Elizabeth for girls.

    Simply because those names have a lot of nicknames available.

    The best are like James and Mary. Names so common they help you blend in and commit crimes.

    (Okay not actually my reasoning but I think common names are usually a good choice. Don't need to be that special you get a unique name)

    James and Mary are super neat and combine with every kind of surname. Maybe that's why they're so common??

    Cillian / Killian is a great name IMO.

    Kayhla, but spelled in very complicated ways for zero reason. A machine wouldn't do that even if it was trying to force an awkward acronym.

    J'nique (followed by a first name used as a last name like Robert, Nicole, Jackson, Jean, etc). Like J'nique Nicole.

    Liz, short for Lizard. “Liz? Is that short for Elizabeth?” “No….”

    I love calling various Lizzies "Lizard." And Sally is short for 'Salamander.' Bill is short for 'Billiards,' ¹ Leo is short for Leopard and maybe Lee is short for Leezard as well. Penny is short for Penguin.

    That said, we do have a lot of funny animal first names.

    • Arthur, Bjarni, Ursula and Orson all mean 'bear.'
    • Robin and Robyn
    • Rudolph is a type of wolf
    • Rana means "beautiful" until you go to a spanish speaking country, where it means 'frog'

    ¹Billiards is not an animal admittedly. Sometimes it can be short for Shoebill

    Judas, Trismagistus, Skrillex, Hideo, Jamboree, Moonbeam, Barry, Ganon, Hadjar, Boromir, Grendel, Jesus, Annana, Jone, Bess, Roger, Sugarloaf, Ponder, Basil, and Ernest. Those are the best ones, but there are many others.

    Audra

    I first read that name in a book when I was a teen and I’ve loved it ever since. My Warcraft rogue Audacity was even partially named using it.
