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 have only come across one Norbert. He was about 21 working as a waiter in a Scottish hotel. I can't remember which country he came from. My kids loved him as he made breakfast fun for them each morning!
