'Unique' names?

It seems like unique is what parents are going for these days. What bugs me is that people use the word as a synonym for uncommon which is incorrect. Unique means 'one of a kind' or 'a singular example'. So basically comments like 'That's very unique', 'I don't like too unique', 'This way it would be more unique' are also incorrect. Something either is unique or it isn't. Basically 99 out of a 100 less common names out there aren't unique in the actual meaning of the word. So, for a challenge, can anyone present me with any actually unique names?
