I like names that are uncommon enough to not be boring but not too out there. Also having a cool like origin/meaning is nice. Examples with meaning/origin and prominent figures sharing the name included:
Silas: Greek/Latin meaning Forest or "of the Forest" Silas Deane, founder of the Methodist Church
Wesley: Old English meaning west meadow Wesley Moore, current Governor of Maryland
August: Latin (Augustus) meaning magnificent Augustus Caesar, First Princeps of the Roman Empire
Audrey: Old English meaning noble strength Audrey Hepburn, American Actress
Evelyn: English and French (Aveline) meaning hazelnut Evelyn Waugh, English Novelist/Satirist
Florence: Latin meaning blossoming/flourishing. Florence Nightingale, Pioneer in the Medical Field
sorry but she grew up in Velp so we claim her as dutch.
But her names spelt Audrey not Ujoodre
Her family actually called her Aafje.
