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.

Also never met anyone with 2 of my children's names, and neither have they. I remember how annoyed they used to be when they looked at personalised tat in seaside shops and could never find one with their names on

My DS 14 used to be the same, he quite likes his name now.
