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.

I think this thread has highlighted that a very rare name may be rare for a reason...

I thought my cousin's name was fairly unique, Halloweeze, but I have met one other woman by that name. Crazy!

I met a woman called Veryan once. I thought it was lovely.“

Daughter’s classmate was a Veryan. Cornish lass. Fabulous, until the family moved to ..... Veryan 😁
