@Awwlookatmybabyspider

If you want an unusual name I'd actually say go with something like John. Paul Alan Kevin Sean Lee There won't be many babies with those names
Yep both my kids (under 5) are on this list. Everyone says "oh how unusual" and we've not met any others.

See also David, Richard, Brian.

Gary. Vanishingly rare for new babies. Everyone can spell it.

When you say unusual do you mean 'weird, modern, out-there', or uncommon.

Norman is very, very uncommon, but quite normal. However, far more rare than Jasper, Zander, Magnus, and Conrad all suggested above.

You've not said what type of name you like, so I looked at names that were only used three times last year, so these all should fit your brief:
Aaron-Junior
Goodluck
Howie
Iain
Kaique
Marmaduke
Math
Shabsi
Thorbjorn
Ugochukwu
Winner
