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 know a few females with unusual names. I don't think I know any males though.

Laureen,
Peta (named after her dad!)
Tammy
Paegan (or possibly Pagaen, never quite got up the nerve to ask which was the correct spelling!)

Janix! (Rhymes with Sanex)

Kallum-Lacoste was next to me in hospital,

Vernard Lewis (I think it's him) has a daughter which is the latin name for a particular bug species or genus of bugs. It's really pretty something like Anastasia but very different & totally unique.
