Namibian Names

So, most Namibians have Christian names because they actually have lots of trouble pronouncing names of people from other tribes or other language groups. These Namibian Christian names are sort of pseudo-Roman, Latin-esq, and straight out of fantasy novels. I may have to use one of these next time I'm playing D&D. Here's a sampling:

Male Names:
Eusebius
Faustinus
Augustinus
Esegiel
Adriano
Kosmas
Amadeus
Vallentines
Pascalius
Bonifatius
Romanus
Thimotheus
Athanasius

Female Names:
Venansia
Sandrina
Engelbertha
Fransina
Therisia
Herlinde
Eufransia
Sabina
Rosalia
Letticia
Leocadia
Gergensia
Constantia
Eleotheria
Rheinhilde
