Names you have only ever met one of

What names do you like but you have only ever met one of before?

My sister is pregnant for the first time at 43 and wants an unusual but real name and wants some inspiration.

I named my own after only once ever hearing someone called the name.

There were simultaneously two Devons in our nursery class

I once worked in a tiny school where there were two Parises and two Harleys. It was the first (and second) time I'd met anyone with either of those names.

I would like to add:

Ninushka
Aylia
Aurelia
Elysia
Lynrose

Benet
Jago
Edmund
Nicolai (he wasn't Russian, although he had some Russian ancestry way back)

Those are the ones I liked or kind of liked. There were others I didn't like at all!
