You can also adjust the "origin" setting to suit to your ethnicity or culture.

For me, I would probably avoid naming a child after a country (one of the suggestions in the article), but that's just my opinion.

I would look through my favourite books and see if there are any interesting and unique names that I can adapt for my child. For example, I love Shakespeare's King Lear and the daughters in that play have the most interesting names like Cordelia and Regan, which are great for little girls.

thanks
