There are quite a few girls names used in Ireland like this (I don't think they're Irish, they don't sound it, but I've never heard them used anywhere else!). Zorba mentioned Attracta earlier, there's also Concepta and Assumpta, among others - always makes me think of the -tion ending aswell!

I absolutely hate the name 'Kimberly' (sorry if it's anyone's name here). Too manly and too.. heavy, just doesn't sound right on a girl. Same effect is given by the the Portuguese name Conceição.
