That's what springs to mind...
Nice names (although not exactly what you'd name your children) are Elven names from Middle-earth. As Tolkien created the language to be beautiful, a lot of ideas for nice names can be gotten... my favorite would be Aiwë - bird, or Elen - star.
EDIT: And DEFINETELY not the "usual". There are tons of Florians, Fabians, Annas, Lenas, Christinas, Jans, Christians, etc. running around... I like having a slightly less common name, myself.
LOL, but Kaz, apart from Theodor, the names you mentioned are all VERY common
Ooh, I found a name me and my boyfriend BOTH like, btw
Aurora! (= dawn/sunrise)
Oh Regin I really LOVE the name Solstråle!! Wow! The 'å' is pronounced with a rounded, back, "o" right? I always liked the name Bård too. [img]smile.gif[/img] Oh and Solveigh! What does that mean? Sun-something....
I just love Nordic names [img]smile.gif[/img]
I also really like very euphonic names, acquaintances of mine have two daughters named
Milou Madeleine and
Carlijn Quirina
Carlijn is a Dutch name so it may sound strange to foreigners, but the names sound soooo melodious and they're both alliterative in Dutch as well.
