Portuguese: Rosa, Margarida (Daisy), Floribela (“beautiful flower”), Dália (Dhalia), Íris, Violeta, Jasmim, Magnólia, Flor (literally “flower”), Gardénia, Hortência (Hydrangea), Florência, Liliana (from Lily), Jacinta (Hyacinth). I know personally women with all but four of these names.

This in Portuguese, where I currently live, but I have no reason to believe you won’t find them in Brazil or other Portuguese speaking countries as well…

More than one group of custodians, ideally with conflicting interests, watching one another? Essentially some system of checks and balances?

IMO, this seems exactly what the fediverse needs to thrive. The whole “choose a server” thing is a big disincentive to adoption by most people.
