Please help me out with an unusual name?

For the first time ever, I'm having trouble naming a character. I've been hunting around, but the kind of name I'm looking for isn't exactly easily found on baby names sites. The character is a girl and lives in a rather Kingdom-Hearts-Twilight-Town-esque city.

I am looking for strange and unusual names, perhaps something that is typically a word rather than a name, something that contains an X, or something Japanese. Something Kingdom Hearts-ish, you know?

Please and thank you. I'm totally brain dead here.

Update:

She's actually Asian...ish, since it's not set in our world, and I'm learning Japanese, soo.... ^^; Besides, that was my last resort method...I was hoping for one of the other two types of names.

    For stuff with an X, you could use stuff like:

    Xandra

    Xanthe

    Xena

    Xaviera

    Beatrix

    Dex

    Phoenix

    Some more unique and unusual stuff:

    Affinity

    Azalea

    Blaze

    Calyx

    Calliope

    Echo

    Galaxy

    Indigo

    Legend

    Liberty

    Lyric

    Rhythm

    Sonnet

    Good luck, any questions feel free to email me! And good luck with naming your characters, and your story! =)

    Unless your character herself is Japanese, living in Japan or her parents are traditionalists, don't. It's horribly cliche, and it makes people want to not read your story.

    You know, just avoid Japanese all together. There are plenty of beautiful cultures in the world. Why don't you research them and make her a part of one of them?

    There is nothing worse than a middle class white girl, living in the middle of America, with a name like Suki, when it's clear the only Japanese thing she's ever seen was half price sushi from a corporate American company.

    i have some ideas, but could you give some more detail about the character? Girl or Boy?

    currently, my choices are:

    Ai (japanese word/ name meaning love)

    Artemis (Greek means goddess of the hunt and the moon)

    Solaris(latin meaning of the sun)

    Gisli (scandinavian meaning ray of sunshine)

    Chelan (native american word for deep water)

    Delaney (english name meaning from the alder grove)

    Note: all of these names are girl or boy names but i picked them with a girl in mind

    (my fave is Chelan :D)

    if you need any help with your story, please message me as i would love to know where your story is going

    Thanks and hope i helped!!!
