Have been inspired by this thread.

So which names have you only ever heard once?

Can I start of by saying I only know one of the following, all children:

Wolfgang but I do know a wolf too.
Paris
Waldon
Sapphire
Emerald
Troy
Leonie

I was flicking through a house-porn magazine yesterday and one of the featured families (living in a vast mansion with 32 rooms) had 3 daughters called names I've certainly never heard before - well, not in this context, anyway:

Perpetua
Clarendon and
Helvetica

GrinGrinGrin

I guess font names are as good as anything else if you're looking for inspiration. At least they didn't go with Elephant or Goudy Stout.

Bit surprised Grendel has only met one Colette, it's a fairly common name surely?

In the nearby park I met a Rage and her sister Envy. They had a brother too, but he had a totally normal name, when clearly it should have been Sloth or Pride Grin
