Animate nouns: the very rare cases

Question

I found special case declinations for the following types of nouns - but yet the tables didn't give example words.

Therefore I challenge you to give an example of ... (deviating declination of accusative plural give in brackets)

Addendum

Inanimate examples for the three special cases would be (in same order)

What tables do you use? Two first cases seem not to match the definitions in this Wikipedia article. As for third declination: мать, дочь, выпь, выхухоль... — Artemix, Sep 3, 2014 at 13:24
Found a note in the wiki that the first and second declination are numbered differently in different textbooks (the first may become second and the second - the first). — Artemix, Sep 3, 2014 at 13:37
1. Евгений, Валерий. 2. Мария, Виктория, София. 3. мышь, блядь, тварь. — Yellow Sky, Sep 3, 2014 at 15:14
Why ask for accusative plural when you essentially want genitive plural? Genitive has more patterns than you'd expect but they are mostly regular. For animate nouns, well, гений, Мария, мышь (-ия is more frequent for abstractions, not so much for people unless it is names). — Shady_arc, Sep 3, 2014 at 18:46
@Shady_arc The genitive plural endings are the same for animate and inanimate nouns. It is the accusative plural where the deviation happens: inanimate sticks to nominative plural, while animate takes genitive form. — arney, Sep 4, 2014 at 20:52
