Something for fun!

I asked my husband this question tonight just for fun, and he had no answers. So, I figured I'd turn to you ladies because I'm positive you will have answers for me, and lots of great ones at that. Here's the question:

If you could only choose a WORD with no historical root as a name to name your child (girl or boy) what word/s would you use? (Language of origin doesnt matter, so long as it's not a word that's also used as a name i.e. Rose, Flora, Dawn-- and any words that mean that in other languages, such as Aurora means Dawn)

Here are my choices:

Prism- girl
Zanja- boy (Zanja is the spanish word for ditch)

Serendipity. It's my favorite word. I love the sound of it, the meaning, pretty much everything. There's no way I'd ever use if for a child though. Maybe a dog.
Crinoline, Carousel, Novella, Lightning...
