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.

Not that I like the boys names particularly but I have only met one
Roman and one Saxon (they were not related).

And one Petal

Ianthe.
No one knew how to say it.

I've never met anyone with my name either :) it's fun to be unique but also a PITA having to spell it and pronounce it for everyone.

Lisma, just Lisa bit with an M stuck in there because her mum liked it.
Body awful but never met another one.

Tui, it’s popular in NZ and pacific islands, it’s unisex too. But it always reminds me of a beautiful brave little girl I once had the privilege of meeting.

And now the name of a travel agent.

Autumn. I went to college with her and thought it was a really lovely name.

I'm the only person with my name with a British passport. There used to be 2 of us. I'm no longer in the UK and am the only person in France with my name, too.
