This thread is similar to the classes with multiple of the same name thread, but instead, list the most unique names you’ve come across in your classes (growing up, observing, and/or teaching)! You can also include unique spellings of more common names.

There was a girl called [name_f]Tigerlily[/name_f] at my school!
Not exactly unique, but there were 3 girls in my year group out of about 130 with the same name but all spelt differently - [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] and [name_f]Suzannah[/name_f]! Once, they were all in my [name_f]English[/name_f] class! There were also 2 girls named [name_f]Nicki[/name_f] and 2 girls named [name_u]Toni[/name_u] in my class which was unusual. There were quite a few unique names in my year group - [name_f]Acacia[/name_f], [name_f]Tulip[/name_f], Kateland, [name_f]Estella[/name_f], a [name_f]Winny[/name_f] and a [name_f]Wynona[/name_f]! At my previous school there was a Kowhai (g), Joto (b) and [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] (b). At university last year, I came across a Miffy and a Winky… very amusing names! I live in an area of Australia with a significant [name_f]Asian[/name_f] population - most of these names have been given to children of Chinese backgrounds, which is interesting, as their parents tend to pick names out of the ordinary!
