Uncommon in my culture: Makoto (disclaimer: I think Makoto might still be more common in my culture than my real name)

Uncommon in general: Kitty

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.

I don't know

I would name myself "I don't know"

Telemachus Or Uncommon.

Galadriel, because of the reactions it would get.

Iโ€™d probably look at ancient Scythian names

Is McLovin taken?

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

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.

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.

My current username. It feels like a real person's name, no?

Worcestershire - so no one can pronounce my name.
