I have always like the use of Sanctuary as a name but when I saw this spelling, Sanctuaire, I thought it could work even better. It has a unique spelling but has a very feminine flare and looks like a good sci-fi / fantasy name. I love the meanings and the look. I even added it to my Favorite Female Names list on this blog.
