Loveday

Boys would be:

I'm sure there are more though.

What names have you only ever met one person with?

Some of these names are actually very popular and not "out there" at all - i.e. Anya or Jasper.

I think you've misunderstood the title of the thread?

These 2 were from my list. And as the OP asked, I have only ever met 1 Anya (late 20’s) and 1 Jasper (7 y-o). So not sure what your point is?

Well, yes, but the OP asked which names you'd only met one of, not necessarily rare names.

I've only met one each of Pandora, Edred, Cosima, Ludovic, Meriel, Rudi, Cloudy and Spinoza, but that doesn't make them unique.

(Though two of those are pretty out there.)
