Names you have only ever met one of

[ladyinacampervan]

What names do you like but you have only ever met one of before?

My sister is pregnant for the first time at 43 and wants an unusual but real name and wants some inspiration.

I named my own after only once ever hearing someone called the name.

I went to school with a girl called Tahnee - always loved that name and never heard it since.

Arabella whilst on holiday, never heard of another

I have only met 1 of my name but wouldn't suggest you lumber a dc with it!!
6 of my dc have names I know no others irl..

I've only met one of my name too.

Sioux. Although it sounds just like Sue, I have always liked the spelling.

Elvy. Spotted on a file of a 90 year old lady when I was doing a NHS filing job as a student. Loved it and always thought I’d use it for my own child.
