Question in title. What are the weirdest, most unusual first names in your family tree? All the posts about names made me wonder!

We have Elkana--what makes it weird is that this is my great-great-grandfather--going back to mid-1800s, no secular/yiddish name from what I can tell and he lived in Lithuania/Russia. It seems like an unusual name for that time period.

I don't know what your description of unusual is?
Dacha. Yetta (I think it was a nickname for Yachet?) Alta. Rella. Edith. Necha. Delz.

My baby nephew is Elkana. We call him Elky. It's super cute and fits him perfectly. My sister named him after my grandmother, Elka. Also, Elkana was a very important person in Tanach. I wonder why there aren't more of them walking around.

We have Pia which people are shocked we use but I legit think it is one of the nicest names out there. Plus a bunch of other unusual names are in our family tree.

My Dh is Paul. I always thought that was very non-Jewish. (He has a very Jewish Hebrew name.)
