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 :) )

There was Jazelle a couple of years below me at school. That is the correct spelling.

I met a Faisa once. Girl.

Faisa is Turkish, I think.

I know an Ocean and used to know a Zukina

Maelys from Blue is the warmest colour

Peronel from Enid Blyton

Mirabel also from EB

Lelia from an old book my parents have

Salome, one of my little cousins

A boy called Nedby

Zenon - boy at school
Porsha - girl

I've taught a keturah - girl.

Also know an Archibaldina but it's probably not unique.

I know of a Jarvey and a Merlyn. Both adults. One male, one female.

My DD's name is (sorry I don't want it to come up in Google search) C.a.r.m.i.e
Pronounced Car-me. My mams name was Carmel and she was dying while I was pregnant and I had read that Carmel meant orchard and C.a.r.m.i.e meant little garden which I thought was adorable.
Unusual I know but it really suits her.

I don't know Betty as she is a friend of a friend so I don't know her well. She has four kids - three girls (including a teeny one) and a boy.

A girl in my year at school was called Terran (parents called terry and Ann) and surprisingly have never met another! DD knows a Katinka, a Xenia and an Athene!!

I taught a Unique and also a Bacardi. Loved the name Giorgiothea (prob spelt different) and also knew a French Elodie and Coralie.

Most unique names of people I've known:

Carrera-like the Porsche
Snow
January
Whistley-a boy
Esin
Koray-core-eye
Saranda
Saturna
Ares
2 girls named Freedom

Richlynne. It was a combination of her parents names.

Mabeth. I don't know where that came from.

C h e r r y - p l u m

Goes to school with a friends kids

DS went to primary school with a Joop!

Years ago I knew a Tiki and a Tameila

Not sure how unique these are, but I've only ever known one:

Redvers
Talog
Melvina and Melantha (sisters)

I thought ex and I made up Amberley but I think there are lots now.

My great grandfather was a Redvers. Toyed with the idea of using this for ds as it's such an unusual name to have in the family but just didn't like it.

I have a female friend with Redvers as a middle name (because it is a family surbame)

Nation she had a younger sister with, I think, a gaelic name so there must be two Sequoias in the world

Vashti

Silly the story of your daughter's name is so sweet!

Kyren (girl)
Livingstone (girl)
