During my regular tri-weekly wiki-binge I came across a real person by the name of Baron Overstone. This was possibly the most high-fantasy name I've ever seen, up there with Thurl Ravenscroft. What real people with amazingly fantasy names are you aware of?
Real life fantastic names
Owen Hill
Dominic Wright

Connor Adams
My grandfather's best friend was named Aloysius Winters. I always thought that was fucking kickass, but it's also probably the name of every other edgy DeviantArt OC.
I knew a girl in middle school who's name was Autumn Llywelyn, which always made me think of elves.
Isaac Turner
Wilford Brimley.
All the most epic names can be correctly pronounced while chewing a mouthful of beef.

One of my friends' name is "Aurora Firesong" (well, translates to that, since she's not English), which totally sounds like a protagonist in some cheesy fantasy story. And yes, it's an extremely unusual name even here (the last name, at least. Aurora is also a rare name, but not one that would register as really weird by itself).
Connor Gomez

A swedish gaming buddy back in the was called Bjorn and he came from this town called hellsong in swedish. We called him Bjorn Hellsong which I still think sounds metal as shit. He was kind of a wuss personality wise though.
