Selphie Tilmitt is a character in the popular video game Final Fantasy VIII. An orphan like the other main characters, she's described as upbeat, friendly, and energetic....though she wields a mean nunchuk. Given the name's resemblance to the photo term "selfie," this one is off the table, even for enthusiastic gamers.

This marijuana-themed name broke into the charts in 2020.

Antwohnette is a distinctive feminine name that appears to be a creative variation of Antoinette, the French feminine form of Anthony (meaning 'priceless' or 'highly praiseworthy'). The unique spelling with 'woh' substituted for 'oi' gives the name a contemporary twist while maintaining the elegant sound of its traditional counterpart. Extremely rare in usage, Antwohnette exemplifies modern naming trends that modify classic names with distinctive spellings. The name preserves the sophisticated, feminine quality of Antoinette while offering uniqueness. Parents might choose this variation seeking individuality for their daughter while still connecting to the historical charm and recognized pronunciation of the traditional form.
