Worcestershire - so no one can pronounce my name.
Galadriel, because of the reactions it would get.

Sweet!
Dude! What does mine say?
Biggus. Now guess what would I change my last name to.
Weewee? Richard? Weiner? Johnson?
Smith, probably.
How did you know?
Monty Python worthy
Nebuchadnezzar. It has an air of nobility about it and no-one would be able to spell it, ever.
Peasants shouldn’t be able to spell the names of nobility
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.
I always thought Ziggy was a cool name.
Don’t change your name to that unless you play guitar. As a non-musical man who gets compared to John Lennon a lot, I’m doing you a favor.

Is that you, Ringo? 😛
Dammit, you found me again, Paul!
Not all Ziggies play guitar.

Throckmorton. Saw it in an example problem in my highschool physics textbook and I still think about it
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
I’ve already got a name that puts me quite comfortably in the 1% of names used in my country. It’s not as cool to have a uncommon name as you think. It’s easy to get picked on, you never can buy those souvenir mugs or keyrings with ‘your name’ and it gets misspelled.
I mean I’ve written a book where my name is on the cover and one review managed to misspell it…
Otoh. I once met someone on holiday in Ireland that said ‘i one met a kid with that name and it was in Croatia, about ten years ago’.
That kid was me. If I had a more common name we’d never have known.
Any relation to the name “Otto”?
Telemachus Or Uncommon.

I already did, but I won’t be sharing it in a public forum :P
Doesn’t apply for me, but nonbinary folk are great for this question because they all name themselves after random inanimate objects (which is 100% valid)
