There are no degrees of unique.

KirstenBlest · 14/01/2024 13:54

Can't say because it would out me but I can think of 4. The names AFAIK are one-offs. 2 of them are very similar to known, uncommon names and fairly similar to each other in letters (something like Laylie and Lilees), one is part of an usual name backwards (e.g, Alebana), and the other one is a sort of slang/nickname given as a name (e.g. Dude).
The first 3 are from LMC families, the last one comfortably-off WC (last baby of the brood, siblings have fairly usual names).

Wasn't Sapphira in the Bible?

True, and I know a Libby-Ellie, which doesn’t even go well.

Mairzydotes · 11/01/2024 15:48

Most of the ' unique ' names I have ever come across are relatively popular names bodged together. I w nt to school with a Lynnann ( which is just a pair of middle names ) and a Lee-amy.

I once read on t'internet about a school class with 3 children called Unique. 😆

apronbellybarbie · 11/01/2024 14:42

When I was young, we had a Nemo join our school. Born before the film was even made.

She was a lovely girl (I'm sure she still is!) And I adore her name.

I worked with a guy who's nephew was Ziggy.

I also know a girl who's DDs are Thistle and Bryar-Loch

I weirdly like those altho I'd think Thistle a little boy, tawny haired, dimples

tellittothemoon · 09/01/2024 18:52

My flatmate's name was Orkayda. Never seen or heard it since the 1980s.
Also, worked with a guy called Barrashia. Again, never seen it before or since.

Went to uni with an Alkelda. Never met another before or since!

A little baby boy called Poseidon. As pretentious as it sounds it's a beautiful name.

HonoriaLucastaDelagardie · 29/12/2023 22:27

Nothing particularly unique about Belinda. It might not be very popular now, but there have been several well known ones. Singer Belinda Carlisle, actress Belinda Carroll (sister of Kate O'Mara), to name two.
