Truly unique names?

Was just thinking the other day of a girl I was in primary school with, called Jera. Pronounced Jerra, rather than Jeer-a, IYSWIM.

I have never met, heard of, read about any other Jera ever, fictional or real, and it got me thinking about other unique names.

Is there anyone you've met or heard of with a name you've never heard of before or since?

I don't mean yooneek, as in Kate being spelled Kayte, or backwards names like Nevaeh.

Another one I have is Carolie, which I think is lovely, but I suspect there is probably more than one out there.

(Admittedly, I have never googled Jera and don't want to as I want to believe it's truly unique ha :) )

Athena is fairly common - the name of a Greek goddess, and a Greek city.

A friend said she has baby grand-daughter named Athena, a name I had not heard before.

I met someone called Mirret when I was in Europe. Have never heard of another, though of course there could be many.
