If instead of ignoring meaning, we ignored cultural context, Lucifer is a great one. Sounds nice, means light bringer.

Sounds like one of those gothic names that doesn’t fit the woman until she’s around 60. Aunt Chlamydia, or something.

Isis was a pretty name

My next D&D campaign is going to have a character named Mendacious in charge of a prominent faction. Language nerds will know he's a traitor right off the bat

I can't remember what radio program it was but some language researchers were talking about a survey they did of how pretty (I can't remember if if was specifically medical) words are and they mentioned that a lot of people find the word Chlamydia very pretty
