Do you know people who are the only one with that name?
Some I know are: Medrie (I love this name!), Neiley (neighbour's daughter), Navarre (nephew), Gardy (grandmother), Anneke (second cousin - pronounced ahn-neh-keh), Farrell (second cousin - f).
That's all I can think of...what about you?

I grew up with a girl named Trevi (her parents wished for a girl on the fountain in paris and when they got their wish they named her after the fountain)
My friend has a daughter name Cailean.
There are more but they are so god awfully made up I hate to even share them with fear that someone else may use it!!!

Wow...this post has made me realize how normal the people I've known are named!


My grandmother was Theda (long e). I used to really dislike it but it's growing on me.


My grandfather (other side) is Garland--but several of you have mentioned Garlands, so maybe it's not that uncommon.


Ollin--great grandfather


Rollin--his twin brother. :)
