How about (for either boy or girl):

Unique
Adequate
Accuracy
Ideal
Temperence
Moderation
Eccenticity
Delightful
Precious
Dainty
Precocious
Gentle
Delicate
Reknown
Naivety
Innocence
Sensible
Ingenious
Practical
Analytical
Benevolence
Agreeable
Satisfactory
Expertise
Dreamy

I'm mainly trying to get a reaction. I know how heavy handed that they are, and I find it hilarious how parents will choose one of these names without thinking of its significance.

Unique and Precious are common as names in the African-American community. There were quite a few Popes named Innocent.

And though I haven't run across Delightful as a name, I know a woman named Delight.

I actually like many of the names because of the signifigance.

Temperence - would use this, and have seen it used before.
Delightful - GP name
Delicate - GP name
