Just wondering what unusual ‘only met one’ names people had come across in their lives?

I mentioned this on another thread earlier but when I did my family tree I discovered an ancestor born on Christmas day named...Christmas!
2 of my 3 dds have been named on here for their beautiful unusual names too!

@JesusMaryAndJosepheen. I've looked for the Lee brothers on my ancestry site but nothing registered to a Serious Lee

@MarthasGinYard I once came across a boy named Zed on a teaching placement - there can’t be many of them!

I also once met a very lovely little boy called Bacchus.

Jacinta - she said it was popular in Ireland.

I know someone named Andrewina everyone calls her Rena.

An old lady years back called Arras. She was born during WW1 and her father had served in the battle of the same name

Someone else on this thread reminded me that I went to school with a Kellie-middle name Kelly.

I asked her why her parents called her the same name, they liked it apparently.

I love Astrid.

I went to school with a boy called Miles Rhodes. And a Frank Yu.

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 25/12/2019 17:48

Astrid is really common these days - I've met one in real life and every other tv show seems to have an Astrid in it!

Can anyone who reckons they know a Ladasha or a Pocahontas provide any actual evidence or are these perpetuations of the urban myths?

Ones I’ve met- Iona Hill, Elvis, Blu, Griffin and a couple of unique names made up by their parents which I won’t name as outing. All white British.

Savannahmarie · 25/12/2019 18:22

There was a Kellasuss in my daughter’s class and I used to know a girl who called her daughter Liver as in the organ
