I enjoy the names Bettina, Delfina, Geneva, Xanthe, and Samira! If Severin were Severina and Vivienne were Vivian instead, I'd also love them.
The only one I've seen is Vivienne, which I really like. I've only seen Darcy on females. I work in education, so I've seen a lot of names, so these are only some of them.

Some of these names are certainly something. I do like Paloma, Yareli, Monelle, Jovie, Dema and Pandora. I don't think I've ever met anyone with any of these names!
I live near a town called Geneva, if that counts for anything lol. Also, my cousin is named Maisaan! I assume this is pronounced the same as Mayssane. As for my favorite names here, I LOVE Vivienne and Samira. And as for unusual names I’ve encountered, I met someone today with the surname Fishbone!
Have you met anyone by any of these names, are any of these names more common where you live?Paule and Sylvie are names that were common in my mother's generation in Québec. My Mom's best friend is named Sylvie and my friend's mom is named Paule. Samira and Maëlle, I've seen amongst my students. I met one Yaël and one Apolline when I did student exchange in France.As for the others, I've never met anyone named that in real life. I remember some reality TV contestant named Bénédicte. Like, I have not met her personally, but it exists. Same for Viggo of course, the King of Gondor. ;-) But these don't count.
