There a a few names where I've only ever met one.

Gurus would be:

Patience
Hebe
Dulcie
Magenta
Ephiphany
Loveday

Boys would be:

Josiah
Maximus
River

I'm sure there are more though.

What names have you only ever met one person with?

I've met a Raspberry...she was Canadian, never met another.

I know someone who calls herself Strawberry and says it’s her real name. I have my doubts.

Ursula! That’s another only
and Hermione

Hebe - having now read the thread either we all know the same one or there are a few more of them than you’d think

Lanesra (arsenal backwards)
Tinkerbelle
Princess
Celeste
Elwyn
Elowen
Clement

I somehow like the idea of Lanesra 😂But I'd have to be Looprevil if I were to do that...

Funny I saw the title and was going to say Loveday, but see that you had that on your list! Maybe it was the same one?

I know an Azza, have never met another one. Boys names, I know there are famous ones, but I’ve only met one Orlando in real life.

I know quite a few Bonnies, it is a popular black name.

NeverApologiseNeverExplain · 25/03/2023 16:42

BTW the poster who met a little girl called Beaux- that is both masculine AND plural- so, so wrong!

Eugene Megatron 😂

Oh Hi, great to hear from you. I thought after that rather embarrassing fumble in Harry's bar in Venice you wouldn't want to even mention my name!

But I have a thick skin, and on that note you'll be pleased to hear that 'weeping issue' cleared up by itself - I didn't need that any ointment at all.

MrsDrDear · 25/03/2023 16:48

Ladybird.

XelaM · 25/03/2023 16:49

I worked with a woman named Exie, her given name. I love the name and she was an absolutely lovely person. She'd be in her late 70's now.)

Stepbumpstepbumpbump · 25/03/2023 16:50

I've met a Magenta too. The Patience in your list reminded me I met a Praise. Struggling to think of any others.
