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.

Helouise is beautiful someone suggested that unthread.

I wish I'd stuck with my original choose of Ophelia.

Doesn't sound so great shouting "Ophelia get in your tea is ready" where I live though. I love it though.

We are not in contact with my dd dad and she has said she wants it as a middle name so we will be adding it to her birth certificate when she is 16 as a middle name. If she still wants to.

Isn't there a reporter called Tulip on the Radio? I've never, ever heard of another.

That's Tulip Mazumdar. There's also the Labour MP Tulip Siddiq. That exhausts my list of Tulips though.

I'm candice (28) and have never met another in person. My daughter is Eloise but I found since naming her that I've heard a few more
