What do you mean by obscure? There's a lot. Lavan, Lot, Metushelach, etc.

If your name is really Bruria then you got a unique one yourself.

My dgtr just started school. From 18 girls in the class she's is one of 5 Rivkas

If you do choose a unique name please run it by someone.
A friend of mine had a really unique name - beautiful but very different - she had some tradgedies in her life and was advised to change her name. Since then things have changed a lot.

I've heard of someone named "kolit". It. . was okay.

Another kid named "Paltiel". Another one named "Benayahu".

Why would anyone want to name their kids with such weird names?

My name is Amalia. I have met I think two others with my name and heard of another three. I’m named after my great grandmother (from Germany). I think it’s a beautiful name with a beautiful meaning.

Behind the name.
I am a fan of Amalia. I have a little cousin named so, and she is the spitting image of he little girl she was named (hyd) for. For familial reasons I don't plan to give it as it would remind my grandfather.
