Cruithne
WDYT about Cruithne? It's the name of early Picts in Ireland, and also of a minor planet, sometimes called "Earth's second moon". It's pronounced KRIN-yah or KREETH-neh (I prefer the first pr.).
I know it's not really a name for a person, but I think it's nice.

I've heard of it before and remember thinking it was pretty cool when I first heard it. I love Gaelic names and the first pronunciation you mentioned is really sweet! Besides the obvious difficult spelling I think Cruithne would work well as a name, probably middle name.

I like the second pronunciation.
