Galadriel, because of the reactions it would get.

Iโ€™d probably look at ancient Scythian names

Growing

Put that with my last name works so well

To obvious but still funny. No you have to split my last name into parts and say it more how it looks then how you would normally say it.

Telemachus Or Uncommon.

Zach, short for Zachariah. Variation of my fursonas name Zachary (well, technically Zach because he prefers using that over the full name).

Also the name of a Fire Emblem Heroes character I totally want to get more screen time because I think he's cool, as a casual.

Iโ€™d probably pick the unique name of someone very famous, in the hopes that I could still hide myself online by having references to me shoved 10 pages deep

Is McLovin taken?

My first name is already uncommon, or even rare. At least in the US; it might be more common in Europe, though still probably uncommon there.

But I always liked the name "Hiram." Not just uncommon, old-timey as well.
