Phineas 
Hebrew, "Oracle"
Julia Roberts plucked this name out of the ancient history textbooks for her son, and to make it even more obscure, she spells it Phinnaeus. You have to give her credit for creativity, though it's questionable whether the name would work as well on someone whose mom is not a beloved Oscar-winning actress. The best part about this name: The ultra-cool nickname Phinn.
