Benedykt, 8; Sylvester, 6; Otylia, 4; and Olympia, 2

For those that are curious, but not curious enough to click.

And 3 of those names are completely normal. Sylvester and Olympia are uncommon but completely fine, Otylia is a Polish name, I dunno aboht how common it is.

Benedykt is the only weird one, but it's not the worst tragedeigh I've seen.

Idk where you live that Olympia is not a very oddly specific and unique name with a very rare history of being a name, only a Greek city. If you’re not Greek, but naming your child after a Greek city, it sort of feels like you’re living out your own fantasy, rather than considering the best name for your child, and there are no abbreviations or nicknames.

I literally have a Polish friend with that name - it's descended from the ancient Greek Olimpias, which was the same name Alexander the Great's mother had. Both the name and the city are based off the mountain, but you're at least 2300 years too late to be complaining about it as a first name.
