Magenta
Ephiphany
Loveday

Boys would be:

Josiah

I'm sure there are more though.

What names have you only ever met one person with?

Rusty. Proper name, on the birth certificate.
Also DH and FIL share the same (awful) name which goes back generations. I once googled and there is only another one in the country.

I'm really hoping that you've had a DS and carried on the name Wink
