The greatest thing about Lithuanian names is they either end in -as -ius -aite or -iene

not necessarily, our last names can also end in -a, -e

[Thrax]

Almost all male greek names also end in -s, except for some archaic ones that can also end in -on (like Platon or Solon)

Lithuanian shares with Greek the same ancient phonological order for male and female words.. Males end with consonants, and all Lithuanian ones end with an -s except for Jogaila, and all female names end with a vowel. What I do not know yet is whether the Lithuanians maintain the Ancient rule of having all neutral words ending in -o.

About Polish surnames ...

1/3 of Polish surnames has suffixes -ski or -dzki/cki. :)
There is some misconception that majority of these people has noble origins but this is not true.

we don't have gender neutral words.

Actually it was more Illyrians who shared name endings similar to Lithuanians... Illyrians had their named ending with -ius and -ias mainly..

How about Fleetus L. Gobble, Jr. ? Can you imagine, if you had a name like Fleetus L. Gobble, inflicting it on your son ? He lives in North Carolina. There is also one Lispenard Pfister. He lives(d) in Statesville, NC.

"Aideed" (He refuses insults)
"Robleh" (His prayers for rain are answered)
"Kundile" (He killed One thousand)
'Jindibo' (Evil spirits avoid him)

A lot of people use Te Reo names to make their kid sound exotic in New Zealand, even if they're fully european/pakeha absolute tryhards.

IMHO the most unique Czech firstname is ŠÁRKA.
De facto it is an artificial name - it is a name of fictional character in Czech legend Maidens' War (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maidens%27_War).
This legend appears in Czech chronicles since 12th century, and the more recent the chronicle was, the longer
and more detailed the stories were.
In version written in 1539, the author of the chronicle (Václav Hájek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenceslaus_Hajek))
add new characters to the story - one of them was female warrior named Šárka.
He used a geographical name for the personal name.
Šárka (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divok%C3%A1_%C5%A0%C3%A1rka)is a name of rocky, forested area in Prague suburb.
Ethymology of the name is pre-Slavic, šárka is compared with Spanish sierra, Corsican sarra,
and Albanian sharane - and all of the terms is related with rocks and mountains.

Šárka sounds like Polish 'szarka' and I would associate, it as a native Pole, with adjective 'szara', which means 'gray', ie. for me 'szarka' is a girl with gray/ashy hair or a girl who wears gray clothes. She can be 'gray' also because of the dirt or dust

It could be related to Latin "Serra" (saw). It has the same meaning in Sardinian language, in fact there are many mountains in Sardinia named "Sa Serra" (the saw), because of the sharp profile that looks like a saw blade. The same in Corsica, there is a mountains range named "La Serra" (the saw) in the long and thin peninsula at the north east of the island.

Lakatos Britniszpirsz, Kolompár Szméagol

Looking at this video about Divoká Šárka, I think that the comparision with saw make sense

In Sardinia there are many personal names present only here and unknown in Italy.

Italianized version - Sardinian version

Gavino - Gavíne, Gabíne, Gaíne (compare it with the English "Gavin, Kevin", or French "Gabin") - the Sardinian name derives from the martyr Gabinius or Gabinus, his tomb is in the town of Porto Torres, in northern Sardinia.
Bachisio - Báchis (pronounce "Bákis", with sibilant S, like the Z in English) - derives from Latin "Bacchisius" = son or servant of the god Bacchus.
Gonario - Gonáre, Gunáre (in the middle ages there were other variants like Gunnári, Gunnáre) - compare it with the Scandinavian "Gunnar", this name is perhaps a relic of the Vandals' presence in Sardinia.
Billía - Compare with the English "Bill or Billy", diminutives of William.

Others strange and perhaps Germanic names were documented in Sardinia during the middle ages, but they are now extinct.

Othokor, Ithokor - Germanic "Othokar", known in Latin as "Odoacar" = Odoacer
Thorben or Latinized in Thorbenius or Thorbeniu - Compare with old Scandinavian names like "Thorvin, Thorfin, Thorwin"
Thorgdor, Thorgodor, Thorgotor, Trogodor often was Latinized in Thorgodoriu, Thorgodori, Trogodori
