Q: Anyone ever hear of this name?

My husband and I decided on Levy for a girls name if we have a girl, pronounced "Lev-ee" (we're aware people will probably pronounce it as Levi at first, that's understandable). As a middle name we like Levy Rose. Our last name starts with M and is two syllables. I think it has a nice ring to it and our family loves it. But I notice it's not a common name whatsoever (what we like, we like uncommon names). Named from a character we both like from a show we watch. Said character is super smart, kind, gentle, and charismatic so we thought it would be a nice name for our potential daughter (we don't know gender yet). Just curious if anyone has heard of it before. I've seen some boards where they hate different kinds of names and prefer traditional ones, but my husband and I aren't like that--we are open minded over things. After all, my real name is too girly for my taste so I go by a more boyish nickname and like it. I think though Levy is sweet and simple. Thoughts?

That's totally awesome! And I love your boy's name! So manly! Hubby talked me into using Bane before I knew the meaning behind it because his favorite Star Wars character is Darth Bane. It seems we've managed to snag some pretty awesome men :P

@DanaB1019 yes! Levy from Fairy Tail is exactly where we found the name (FT is also my favourite anime/manga)

We've already had family questioning the pronunciation of the name lol but we've had the names picked out since before we started trying.

Our boy's name is Dante Phoenix M(two syllable last name). That one, my husband loved the book Dante's Inferno and also his favourite PS3 game character has the name. But because it also has to do with fire... we wanted a fire related middle name so went with Phoenix

I love that name! I think it's spelled differently enough than Levi that people wouldn't mistake it as a "boyish name". I also think that Levy Rose flows really well. It's unique, but not so "out there" or spelled so crazy that it's too much.
I'm hoping that you don't let people get to you about the name. Hubby and I chose "Bane" as a middle name for if we have a son because it means "long awaited child" (we tried for 5 years), but people have said it sound more like we're saying the child is the bane of our existence. Sure.
I'm also secretly hoping you're referring to Fairy Tail's Levy as the inspiration because I love anime :P

Hunter is relatively common here in Canada. I've only ever seen Thea once though.

I'm having fun on nameberry, definitely lots of names I hadn't ever heard of too! Thanks for mentioning it! Would not mind an add back :D

Thats a great outlook to have but as I said I think the name is lovely and I like the slightly unusual too. In the UK Hunter is a very uncommon name and so is Thea so that's why I picked those.
I have a lot of time on my hands since my hobby of hiking and climbing has been banned by the drs and as I read a lot I come across things that may help.
I like to think I'm friendly and easy to get on with. I'd be happy for the add and will add you too if that's okay.
Also PM me any time if you have questions or just to chat and rant x I'm always happy to listen

Male vs female names don't bother me. Because how will I know what gender my child will associate with? It sounds more neutral to my ears anyways. And I shall check out nameberry! Thanks!

Also, unrelated, but you answer lots of my questions and seem like a great person to get along with, would you mind if I sent you a friend request/follow?

I love the name and saw it when i was searching for names the only thing I thought of is that nameberry.com states it as a male name and the 'dictionary meaning' to levy a tax or fee. It's nothing bad in my eyes and if it were a name I picked I wouldn't be put off by it.
