more names I might consider for myself...
Drew - this is another name I've always liked, plus it is androgynous. According to this site, it is a Welsh name meaning "wise". Oddly though, the same site only mentions it being a form of "Andrew", meaning "masculine", when you search on it as a girl's name.
Blade - sounds cool, but I guess it wouldn't feel very fitting for me.
Tristan - I like this name, and apparently it is for both boys and girls. I don't like that it is similar to the Spanish/French words for "sad". And it just doesn't sound right for me.
Taliesin - Apparently also a girl's and boy's name. This name is cool to me, due to some association with Merlin. Merlin is a cool name too. But they are both too famous, historically (at least in my mind) for me to be comfortable using them for myself.
Devlin - "It is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "misfortune; fierce courage".
Taji - The boy's and girl's name Taji \t(a)-ji\ is pronounced TAH-jee. It is of Japanese origin, and its meaning is "silver and yellow color".
Tay - The boy's name Tay \tay\ is of Scottish origin. Place name: the largest river in Scotland, famous for salmon fishing.
Taylan - The boy's name Taylan \ta(y)-lan\ is pronounced TAY-lan. It is of American origin. A blend of Taylor and Dylan. Taylan has 1 variant form: Taylon.
It's funny - a lot of the unusual names I've encountered in fantasy / sci-fi books, and which I thought the authors made up, are actually real names, according to that web site.
