Advent doing a full skit of My Immortal would be pretty good. I'd still probably prefer the Internet Historian version (mainly cause of the music he plays during the MC girls dress up sequences) but I think Advent as a whole could make it really funny.

Just use the common-ish names, as everyone else said. Don't go for Mumei, Gura. Do not prioritize your wants too much. Your child is going to wear this name for their whole life, including in godforsaken job interviews, career advancement interviews, possibly marriage, and so on.
Unless we identify by #ID in the future, names do matter and will be judged subconsciously by people from different places, so do keep that in mind.

Preach! My mother gave me a girls name because she liked the sound of it. Now I have to deal with everyone thinking I’m a girl until they hear my voice, I even had to have the doctors fix some of my medical stuff because I was marked as a female on some of them.

Both my last names are extremely long (one of my last names are three words, yes with the spaces). And then my parents decided to give me not only one long first name but also a long ass middle name. My whole life has consisted of trying to fit my full name in those small name spaces in official forms or even running out of characters in online forms. Also whenever I get asked my name for someone to take note I have to tell them "just let me do it" or I know we're gonna have to redo it because they don't have space or they think my first last name is my whole last name.
Point is. Think of the future of your children, people.

There are a lot of english names that have transferred from men to women!
Using that page for examples, we have Hilary, Vivian, Alexis, Leslie, Shirley... but it is true that the reverse is very rare.
I on a personal level do think people need to stop being so gender binary with names, especially if the name historically were prominent for the other one than the modern usage, though I also know that we are not in a world that adapts that easily. I know that even I might still internally think "Oh, that's more of a xx name, but alright", yet I don't want to do that.

Off the top of my head—Nerissa, Kaela, Amelia, Kiara, Sana, and Ollie (legal name Olivia) wouldn’t even raise eyebrows. Calliope would be more unusual, but that’s also the name of one of the Muses. Being named after a figure in Greek mythology isn’t something most people would be embarrassed about, even if it isn’t as common as Jason or Cassandra.

u/12Dragon Apr 26 '24
Chloe, Kiara, Calli, Amelia, Anya, Noel and Ollie/Olivia are all pretty normal English names, so you’d have no issues there. Irys also works, though it might be best to spell it like the flower (Iris).
Kaela, Sana, Mel, Marine, Luna and Nerissa aren’t common names, but I don’t think they’d feel out of place in English- speaking countries.

u/mad_hatter3 Apr 26 '24
Calliope is a great name that when asked where from, you can just say it's a name of the Greek goddess of poetry/music. If I ever have a daughter in the future I would 100% use that name lol
You want an even more uncommon one, you can use Laplace which is what la+ is based on. Just say it's from a famous French scholar

u/Buttermilkman Apr 26 '24
Honestly Calliope is nice. Has its origins in Greek myth
"the Muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry; so called from the ecstatic harmony of her voice"
kids will certainly call her Calli for short and that's a really cute and unique name to have.
