I'd go seventies.

Don't get many little babies nowadays called Martin or Derek or Julie or Pamela.

If you want completely unique they then need to be made up words that no one knows!

Emerylina
Scourgette
Frampeline
Bouldersin

you get my drift

🤣🤣

Not even this is a guarantee of uniqueness, sadly. You may genuinely have the first Emerylina-Scourgette in history when your child is named ... but at any moment someone else may see the birth announcement or hear you calling the name on the playground and decide that's the name for their baby, too!

😂I thought it sounded like a posho trying to talk dirty

Clarty might fit the bill for that one.
