Tha'ts all I can think of from the top of my head:)
These are the types of names that would be used more in today's age; I checked out the website that was in the previous post and those are more old fashioned.

Aghavni and Lucine / Lusine are my favorite girls' Armenian names. I feel like Lucine can make the crossover into Western culture, given it's similarity to Lucy. Aghavni, however, would be much more difficult for a non-Armenian speaker to use, as it's pronounced ar-AHV-nee, and there isn't an 'r' in the name.

I'm not as familiar with the masculine names.

This site is GREAT for names used in Armenia.

Edit: For me to pick one name is just too hard.
