Names you hardly ever hear

I would think Lou-see-ah-noh.

I knew loads of people with unique names. Then again, I came from the Caribbean. Once I moved to the US, all see are common names. Save for one friend of mine named Britt (he's a guy).

But yes, my friends from home; Franshelia, Christella, Mathrina, Vanincia... the list goes on, really. My name, on the other hand, is quite common. My mom's name is Ysabel (like Isabel), though.

I have met several Luciano's ... (lou..chi..ah..no) one of my friends even named her eldest child this after his father. Oh yeah all of them are of italian ancestry and are usually nicknamed lou/louie
