What names have you only ever heard once

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

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

Boudicca
Sunny blue (boy)
Antigone
Plum
Herbie
Rudyard
Paloma

Is anyone else impressed with how many of these you know? Or at least used as middle names?

My offerings are Thane, Saguaro, Devon, Rutger, Fina, Gaynor. My grandmother's name is quite unusual, too, but I know of others because I have tried to track them down.

There quite a few names I've only met once but I know they are real names or used elsewhere, maybe just in fiction or by Celebs, like Blake, Hilda or Chandra.

My DD is the only Eirys I know.

Casimir
Ptolemy

Besfort

Hereward

Wyn
Alva
So-Wah (This lady was Chinese though)
Melissa (Obviously have heard of this name before, but only ever met one person called that)
Goodnews (who's surname was Onasunde & I really liked this combination)

There are lots of Seren's locally here.

A person I work with is called Happy He's lovely and smiley and fits the name perfectly, but I haven't heard of another.
