Truly unique names?

[Seminyak]

Was just thinking the other day of a girl I was in primary school with, called Jera. Pronounced Jerra, rather than Jeer-a, IYSWIM.

I have never met, heard of, read about any other Jera ever, fictional or real, and it got me thinking about other unique names.

Is there anyone you've met or heard of with a name you've never heard of before or since?

I don't mean yooneek, as in Kate being spelled Kayte, or backwards names like Nevaeh.

Another one I have is Carolie, which I think is lovely, but I suspect there is probably more than one out there.

(Admittedly, I have never googled Jera and don't want to as I want to believe it's truly unique ha :) )

Morrigan? I presume they are well acquainted with British mythology?

I know a little Geraldine, and there cannot be too many of those around now.

I used to know of a Haemagulain- I have no idea what culture that is from! (UK dweller)

[Wombmates]

Tarquin (2yo) and Pollette (4 yo)

[Lebkuchenlover]

I know a few (French) Paulettes.

Very odd that people are listing quite ordinary names like Alan and Petronella and Tarquin as unique.........

Jera is lovely and has just gone on the shortlist for my non-existent future child!

[clary]

I taught a Kai-Onn which I have never come across before or since.

Wanted to post as love the name 'Jera'! I think some completely unique - as in not unusual or different culture, just totally made up, can be lovely bit some just Sound like random vowels strung together.
I knew a siblings called Ara and Dalan not different nationality or anything think parents just thought of them.


Other names I've come across and always remembered - Saliz, Daricca, Ceali, Story, Kragenn, Azelda, Xio

[Wafflenose]

I have only met one Zazelle, and one Cherish.

[Skogkatter]

I know an Issildoria. Known as Issie. I quite like it.

I knew a kid at school called Zerevan. I thought it was unique- and then I met DH's family who are Kurdish and met four people called that

I know a little boy called Hull.

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Unborn DD is currently called Ryvita!

[Seminyak]

Hull!!!! Amazing.

Zazelle (autocorrects to Satellite!!), Polette and Morrigan are all new ones on me.

Glad people are loving Jera!

[Seminyak]

Although then it will lose its seeming uniqueness.

Timoney (spelt TIM-on-ee), for a beautiful elfin little girl. I knew a Lalage at school, apparently it means "bubbling brook". I think they are both very pretty names.

[oakmouse]

Pronounced that is, not spelt. It's not that youneek!

[thegreylady]

I knew a Marrilier at school many years ago and a boy named Yeet!

[NigellasDealer]

I knew a Lalage at school
ooh i knew of a Lalage at my school but she was in a higher form.
most unusual, very pretty.

[Frikadellen]

I worked with a Tiare once only time I have heard that name. Kinda pretty.
