Livnat.
Like the name itself but I know the child will get bullied forever if I call them Livnat.

Khadijah. It’s a lovely name but it’s too associated with Islam. There are other nice Arabic names that are not exclusively Islamic.
Basically anything belonging to a culture that's not mine (because that feels wrong): Anjali, Calixte, Dakila, Fumiko, Indira, Kajetan, Kamea, Kanani, Kimiko, Miyuki, Muna, Munira, Rishi, Takeo, Takumi

Hmm I probably couldn’t/wouldn't use…Algernon, Cornelius, Ferdinand or Sinclair…irl, but I do love them all so, so much :,)
Mildred which I like for some odd reason but I don’t have the guts to use.
I've always liked the name Wolfgang but I'd never use it, probably not even on a fictional character. I think the name is lovely but maybe a bit too out there for english speakers
Obviously, none of the names on my PNL are ones I plan on using for my actual child. (And I have no intention of having children.) But they are certainly makes a good character name.
