I thought I'd make another, follow-on, thread as the first filled up quickly and was so interesting

So, what’s the most unusual name you have ever come across in daily life?

Jago, which I thought was really cool.

I'm Cornish and never knew anyone with this name growing up, or when my eldest children were in school, only as a surname, but it seem to become popular over the past few years. There's quite a few now as well as Kitto and Loveday.

Tycho

Tycho is Danish, cf Tycho Brahe the Danish astronomer. Very famous. Lovely name, I think.

Minty is short for Araminta, I always loved this name after Moondial, a kids series when I was about 10.

@Marylou62 Yes, another poster told me that it is a Cornish name. It is such a lovely name.
