One I was thinking of the other day is [name_f]Siani[/name_f] (Shah-nee). I went to school with a [name_f]Verena[/name_f]. Some others:
[name_u]Corrie[/name_u]
Cassan
Eashan
Techi (f)
[name_f]Robina[/name_f]
And a different person named [name_f]Bena[/name_f], which may have been their full name or nn, I’m not sure
I knew a Khanada (kuh-NAY-duh) growing up. Never come across the name anywhere since!
Russian perhaps?
I thought of some more:
Narek (b)
Roya (g)
I knew [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] as a street and park name, but hadn’t heard it as a name for a person until Nameberry.
these are names i’ve only seen used once irl:

I grew up between [name_f]Italy[/name_f] and Spain so my list might be slightly different. I can’t count the names that I didn’t know about until I found Nameberry, but in real life I’ve met:
[name_m]Aran[/name_m] (it means valley in some dialect of Catalan or Basque I think)
[name_f]Atenea[/name_f] (spelling of [name_f]Athena[/name_f] in Spanish)
[name_m]Telmo[/name_m]
[name_u]Joni[/name_u] (pronounced like Johnny)
[name_m]Maxim[/name_m]
[name_m]Hermes[/name_m] (I actually like this one)
Uxia
Irza (the last two are Galician names)
[name_f]Danae[/name_f]
I think this are the weirder ones but I know quite a few more.
