names you only know one 'owner' of

[manicinsomniac]

Hideously phrased title, hope you get what I mean

So many threads on here are asking for unusual or unique names. Seems to be hard.

So, question: How many children do you know who are the only child you know with their name (ugh, STILL badly phrased, can't get it right!)

For Me:

Girls: Adenike, Aliya, Athene, Callie, Camilla, Camina, Caprice, Celest, Cerys, Chelsea, Christabel, Clea, Fenella, Fionnhuala, Eloise, Heather, Henrietta, Jade, Karenza, Katinka, Kelsey, Kiran, Kiya, Lana, Lara, Lillianna, Maria, Millicent, Mira, Naomi, Nayana, Nyah, Polly, Robyn, Rocio, Rosemary, Sadie, Samai, Samantha, Samya, Savannah, Sorcha, Teresa, Thea, Tolulope, Zia

Boys: Adam, Alejandro, Anton, Arjun, Arnav, Artemis, Barnaby, Caleb, Caven, Craig, Damon, Diego, Evan, Ferdi, Fitch, Frasier, Gennady, Gregory, Hal, Harrison, Hayden, Hector, Jonathan, Keshav, Kristian, Lucas, Morgan, Nelson, Niall, Oluwakorede, Oluwatoni, Orlando, Orson, Paris, Rafi, Ranulph, Rex, Robin, Rory, Rowan, Ruan, Scott, Shea, Simon, Stephen, Tasimba, Tavish, Tawanda, Teo, Terence, Vishal

It's double barrelled name, both names are actual names. She is named after my uncle. He died shortly before 18th birthday. I found out I was pg with dd1 shortly before my next 'big' bday (21st) so it seemed fitting to name her after him also.

There aren't many people with either name and no-one else with both names like she has. The first part of name is often mentioned on 'unusual but traditional' name threads on here.

Sorry half my post dissapeared the second bit of her name is my dads name as he and my uncle were insperable so it seemed right that she had both names.

Leah
Jaisey

Ross

Nash

I know a Precious!

You only know of one boy named Lucas?

Boys: Elvis, Joby, Oswald nn Ossie, Sonny, Taio

Girls: Nina, Mahalia, Veron, Minnie, Asha, Simone, Amara, Naomi, Eliana, Elisheva

There seem to be more girls names out there than boys?

According to the ONS, in 2010 there were 7394 girls names given to 3 children or more (names only given to 1 or 2 children not listed due to privacy) but only 6039 boys names given to 3 children or more. Strange.

There are 1681 one year old girls out there who share their name with only two other girls their age.
There are 1355 one year old boys who share their name with only two other boys their age.

I'm in bed ill and bored and have waaaaay too much time on my hands!

I keep waiting for someone to mention my DS's name on one of these threads, then I can guess how I know them. As far as I am aware I know no MNers but if soemone said the name it would be proof that I do. I am aware of twin boys called Chakra and Karma and a girl called Dolce

You only know of one boy named Lucas?

Yep! And he's 13 too. Weird I know.

More girls I have just thought of: Posy, Fleur, Dorothea, Cecilia, Cheyenne, Hope, Briar, Alys

More boys: Barney, Aloysius, Ty, Bay, Miles

DS's name has never been on any of the ONS lists so there must be less than 2 a year born

Op, you know A LOT of children!

Dd's name is on your list. I know an adult one but not met another child with he'd name, not that it's that uncommon.

DS's name. I know no one else with it, and no one else who knows anyone else who has it. Like Dials said, waiting for it to be mentioned. . .

My name has been mentioned but not in the right context. which is refershing and it isn't on you're list either but am not outing myself now!

I, like jelly cat just searched and found another MN'er with a ds who is exactly the same age as my ds with the same name!

Also lots of Asian/African names which are probably well-known and well-used but which I've never heard of before!

My sister was at university with a Cal who turned out to be called Caligula (not surprised he wouldn't admit to it til graduation) - I think that's slightly too unique!
