Dulcie
Magenta
Ephiphany
Loveday

Boys would be:

Josiah

I'm sure there are more though.

What names have you only ever met one person with?

There are loads of common names I’ve only met one of, eg Lana, Devon, Phillippa. Common names (like baby Brian suggested on page 1). I know a baby Desmond. But they’re not unique names by far. I want to find actual unique names, just because I’m interested.
