Gulliver
Diggory

Are these names too "out there?"

ETA:

Okay, okay. Maybe you guys are right, and they are too much. I sent them to my husband, and he emailed me back with Spiderman and Dandelion.

And Gulliver's Travels with Gulliver. But if those are the only references that come to mind, the name is virtually unused, which is what I'm looking for.

But maybe they're a bit too unused, and I should be looking at something else. I like Gilbert and Walter, too, but they're missing that 3-syllable-sound that I like.

... too unused. Yeah, I'd go along with that. One of the reasons I am super careful about never, ever using my real name on any site where I speak openly is because I am apparently the only person with the combination of my unusual first name with my unusual (in this country) last name, according to Google. God forbid I make a powerful enemy somewhere, because all they would have to do to completely destroy my future employability is post publicly about me using my real name.

(That said, should I ever wind up with a daughter I have for nearly a decade thought I would like to name her Luna. Guess it's a good thing I don't actually plan to have kids?)

I hadn't thought of that. I was thinking of Diggory Kirke from the C.S. Lewis books. But I don't think I necessarily mind the Potter thing -- unless it makes the name suddenly too popular.
