Freya, Mercy, Lula, and Ghislaine are not bizarre. Coincidentally, I love both Mercy and Ghislaine! Also, Modesty is one of my guilty pleasures.

Oh no, Freya isn't bizarro! It's my favorite! :) I quite like Wendolyn (like the Wallace and Gromit character), Mercy, Lula, Ghislaine, and Nehemiah as well :)

LMAO at Brickelle.I'm curious what state you live in... some of those virtue names are unexpected. Namely, Conscious and Modesty.

Nehemiah! I've actually know a few guys called Nehemiah and it's such a fun name to say. I really like it. Freya, Modesty, Mercy, Lula, and Journey don't really stand out to me either. Freya is a popular name, Mercy and Modesty aren't necessarily popular but they're not out there, and Lula and Journey just don't surprise me. Also, Topanga. Someone must've been a fan of Boy Meets World, because that is the only place I've ever heard that name before. I always found her annoying too :/And Ghislaine sounds like a character from Robin Hood... The rest are bleh or awful - and Keyarious takes the cake imo.

Freya seems to me the odd one out here. Freya isn't uncommon on little girls in the U.K. so I wuldn't really look twice at it. Many others here I'm sure are nearly unique.Brickelle sounds like a joke. A feminised Brick? I don't know what goes through these parents' minds. Possibly actual bricks. :/

Most of those are pretty out there.These are the ones I like:Freya
Mercy
GhislaineI don't mind Hayes for a boy, but it's not something I'd use.If I were Christian and wanted my kid to have a cool, unusual name, I might consider Nehemiah.
