Just wondering what unusual ‘only met one’ names people had come across in their lives?

Tryphena is the most unusual name of someone I’ve met.

To the PP who wrote Fetus - I think the German name is pronounced like that but it’s Vitus

The girl above DD2 on the birth register is Stargazer Lily.

@sashh what is wrong with Jenna Taylor?

I met a guy named Swarley. I thought it was a joke because it's a fake name used on How I Met Your Mother, but he showed me his ID. He was a bit of a twat anyway, so I wouldn't be surprised if he'd changed it to that "for the lols"

Grizzell was the name on old house deeds - female, I think might come from German.
