I run an after school program and most of my children have "normal" names, but some of their parents are a different story.

Two that I adore are
Dessy and Lysander. Both are women.
Dessy, if I remember correctly, is named after her father. Its a shortening of his name or something.
I know that Lysander is a masculine name, but I think its beautiful and it suits her.

I do have one boy named Shea and the kids call him "Shea Stadium" but he's a Mets fan, so he doesn't mind.
