I agree. My daughter named her son Leonidas, a highly unusual name rarely heard in our culture. When I posted about it back in December, someone said that it was too Greek for non-Greeks to use. My daughter has received many compliments on the name, (although there are of course others who do not care for it), and when my mother-in-law told some Greek acquaintances of hers what her great-grandsons name is, they thought it was wonderful. I do not think one should let the rarity of a name or the fact that it is not common in ones culture stand in the way of using it.
