I used to work with an outfit that did a lot of baby information for mostly new, panicky parents, or prospective, panicky parents, and one of the perennial hot topics was "What to name the little beggar?" One day I drew up these lists of words that sound like they would make lovely names, but clearly would be terrible names. As always, your contributions in comments are welcome.

I think I would be okay with attar, rancor, or kern; maybe even virulent.
I think Rancor would suit you. "Rancor Raf, at your service."
For a girl: Levitra. ;>
I wish I could remember who, but there was a black comedian I saw once who said black children sound like they were named at the drugstore: Advil, Tylenol, and the twins, Murine and Visine.
