My mother had a classmate in high school named Oroian, pronounced O-roy-an. She went by Roian. I have never come across this name anywhere else. Have you? What do you think of it?

And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
