I think Vidosava is fun.I don't know much about my family tree but I've got three that kind of stand out:Grasyla - definitely the weirdest, there is a record of it elsewhere but it doesn't seem to have ever been popular at all.
Zygfryda - I've never heard of another woman actually named that but it's just a feminine version of Zygfryd so it's at least somewhat familiar.
Tekla - it's really just very dated but it was fairly popular back then, I just like it so I like mentioning it whenever I can because it's almost forgotten now.

I couldn't go very far back, and the only name that was really "out there" was Faithful. There were a few names you don't see too often (Ephraim and Ophelia, specifically) but nothing too weird. Honestly, it's kind of a shame how normal these names are.

Arcadius is fun.I fell down a rabbit hole, because I found some bizarre ones (Phaltiel? Hotspur!?) and then got fascinated, so just kept clicking back. The vast majority of these people are only tangentially related to me, obviously.(Some of them aren't that unusual, but I listed what stood out to me.)Homer x 2
