∙ 8y agoUnique is a matter of opinion and a matter of time. Many names for people or things, no matter how unusual, often become trends. For example, names like Google and Yahoo were once very unique nouns to use as the name of a company but it became a trend to use odd or unusual nouns to name a company or product. Names like Mortimer and Myrtle were not uncommon names for people a century ago but a very unique name in the twenty-first century.
Unique names for people can be a handicap. For example, Frank and Gail Zappa named their children Moon Unit, Dweezil Ahmet, and Diva Muffin. The family is in the entertainment business where it pays to stand out, but an average family in an average neighborhood may have to struggle with very odd names.
Businesses and products are usually named to instill a particular quality or confidence in the business or product. People may be reluctant to put their money in Big Billy's Bank, hiring the Precious Paving Company, or purchasing a bottle of Murky Mouthwash. Those would be unique proper nouns.
