I just saw this name on a commercial:

Mignonnette

It was one of those names that I saw but didn't register that it was a name for a few seconds.

Edited to change subject name.
There's possibility it was a nickname?

I don't actually speak French, I just recognized it from reading older English novels (Heyer, Christie, Sayers et al) where people tend to use French pet names all the time.

As a legal name I find it over the top, though not absolutely unbelievable as a name. I mean, Princess is in the top 1000 names in the US, which is enough to drive me to drink.

I can imagine a lot more names fitting into the classic judge/president/doctor template now than I could ten years ago, but these kinds of names are still too over the top. I can't imagine hearing "All rise for the honorable Princess Jones".
