Awesome names that you never call your kid

So I'm involved in a youth group which has started up very recently and one of the children involved is called Storm. The geek inside of me loves that a parent so obviously calls their kid after a character in XMen, but I would never do that to one of my kids. It's kinda like a car in a very bright colour. It might suit the car but you'd never own a car like that.

So what other names have you come across that you think are cool but a bit odd?
 
If I have a daughter I want to call her Alyx, and get her a pet dog. GF has said no though. Might sneak it in as a middle name.
 
I worked worked with a Merlin for a while, great name. He particularly liked it when people stood in front of him in the hallway and shouted "YOU SHALL NOT PASS".
 
It's not a name I've ever seen beyond the history books but if I have a son I almost fancy naming them Isambard. I'm not sure I could do that to a child but whatever they did with their life mediocrity is not an option.
 
I've hinted at 'Thor' a few times :p My surname is Judge. How is Thor Judge anything but an awesome name??!


One of ex-colleagues called his son "Loki". This was before the films came out, and he got it directly (AFAIK) from the original Norse mythology.
