I'll come back with some more names; hopefully more with some historical value to them.

Oooh, love this style. My favorites from your list are Isebrand, Hildebrand, Cléodore, Lovelace, Romeric, Jerusalem, Modeste, Everilda, Pacifica, Hildegarde, Franziska, and Olympia.

---

I like this list to find similar rarities: https://www.behindthename.com/submit/names/usage/history-ecclesiastical. I should spend some time combing through the archaic Québécois names!

---

Some names I like loosely in this style:

---

Théotime
Anthime
Aristée

Louvent
Timoléon
Philémon

---

Augustine
Angelica and Anjelica

Thekla

Andromeda, Annabeth, Apollonia, Bellatrix, Caliandra, Celestina, Deianeira, Ellemieke, Jelisaveta, Karesinda, Mirabelle, Sophronia, Viridiana

I suppose it's a question of culture and perspective. What someone considers uncommon or rare depends on a lot of stuff. For example, some of the names on your list sound quite common in my language (Anne-Marie, Frederique or Clémence come to mind).
