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 go by Kelly but my actual name is Kellermina. My mother isn't English but even her country doesn't seem to have have anyone with that name.
My cousin (her mum also not English, my mum's sister) is named Cottage Roman, which I believe are likely just English words my aunt liked but didn't understand they really don't go as a name. I've never met another Kellermina or Cottage. Hopefully there aren't any because they're annoying for people to get right!

Dd2’s name has come up here, but we were once walking through a park in Cambridge and as three separate families came to a junction in the paths we all called out ‘Beatrice’, which would suggest that it’s not rare everywhere

I offer Mariella and Onyx

I'm in Cambridge and know a few Beatrice's.

Verity has been mentioned a few times, but I know several.

I know teenage twins called Prosper and Sorrel, and they are the only ones I know with those names.

I absolutely love this.
