Unique means there is only one - so you would have to chose one that is no longer used or make one up (like unicycle - one wheel).

The most unusual ones I’ve come across are:

Boys:
Bay, Boaz, Clement, Elvis, Enoch, Gaius, Lombard, Merlin, Orion.

I heard the name Hera today too and really liked it.
