Okay, I couldn't post my whole question in the subject, so here it is: What is/are the most unique name(s) you've seen where you actually met the person who has that name?

HERE ARE A FEW I'VE HEARD OF

Boaz - a little boy at my sister's doctors office

I went to high school with a girl named Shanda - it wouldn't have been so bad but her last name was Leer (Shanda Leer)

I tutored a little boy in the 'inner' city named Roy'mond (a variation of raymond I guess)

I work with a lady named Shirl

I used to babysit for for a little girl named Taya - which isn't so bad, but her mom told me that is is german for bitch - which I thought was horrible!

My grandpa's name is Beecham - bad, I know!

My grandma's name is Zora - very unique and not common at all

(And yes, Beecham and Zora are married and they named their son (my dad) John - VERY common!)

A co-worker's son's name is J.B. - it stands for Junior Bryan (bryan is their last name)

A Police Officer I work with, his name is Erin (spelled the girl's way, which I think is odd)

That's all I can think of right now!

Well, my name is Charisma (F).

Aside from its positive meaning in modern English, Charisma is nice because in Ancient Greek it means "gift". Not a physical gift, but an intangible gift like the gift of public speaking or the gift of leadership. My parents named me Charisma Joy because I was a gift of joy from God to them. I always thought that was cool, and I've never met anyone else with the same name, although I've heard of others having it on rare occasions.
