Condoleezza 
Italian, "From a musical phrase meaning "with sweetness""
Don't let anyone tell you a long, hard-to-spell name is going to hold your child back. Condoleezza Rice's parents invented this whopper of a name from a musical phrase, and not only did their darling daughter become a highly accomplished classical pianist, she took her 11-letter name all the way to Washington as U.S. Secretary of State.

Moya

Irish, "Bitter"

With the "oy" in the middle, Moya sounds unpleasantly like Maya with a stomachache.
