    Hmmm unique names... my cousins have fairly odd names - Vasiliki and Evgenia - but they're Greek so not really unusual... although the boy next door's name was Nectar, which is a bit bizarre even for Greeks.

    A few others I've heard:

    Keadynn (Kee-den)
    Tannith (nickname Tanni, girl)
    Teylor (unusual spelling of Taylor, girl)
    Rainer (boy)
    Bodhi (pron. Bodie)
    Qaiss (pron. "case", boy)
    Kiki (girl, pron. "kicky", not "key-key")

    One of my best friends is Tess, I love her name...

    Ok, there are some really good ones if you go cross cultural. For example in Spanish:
    Africa
    Valeria...both quite common, apparently.

    Also Rochayne - which is Roisin in Irish.

    Also know a Rochayne - which is Roisin in Irish. Apparently she was like a rock star when she went to Ireland - everyone loved that an Aussie had a totally Irish name (even tho it's spelt differently)
    I went to school with a Rochayne - not sure how she spelt it though.

    Another name that is on my list is 'Paisley'... I love it!
