Treva is actually on the US popularity charts for girls if you go back around 100 years. :)

I knew a Treva.
Considering I know a female Kevin it doesnt mean much. People will saddle girls with anything.
This.
Trevor on a girl is not at all common.

I've met/know a: Charlene, Dominic, Francine, Jillian, Regina, Trevor (2), and Vanessa
I work with a woman named Regina. She's great. 🙂 Skylar is the name of one of my nieces, and I'm sure I've known others in the past. Met a woman once named Yolanda and went to school with students named Trevor and Vanessa. Might have met a Francine (honestly can't remember) but pretty sure I never met anyone with any of the other names, as of this writting anyway. (:
I used to babysit a little boy named Walker, he was the only one I’ve ever met.
I haven’t met anyone with any of the other names, although I might vaguely remember meeting a Dominic when I was little. I also might have met a Zachariah who went by Zach…
My dogs name is Aurora if that counts :D

I haven't met anyone with any of these names.
Daphne Belle - my 92-year-old aunt
Jillian Marie - my 24-year-old niece
Regina - worked with three, one went by Gina
Skylar -a fairly popular name for students when I worked in a school
Vanessa - worked with one
Vera - worked with two, one pronounced it Vay Ra
Walker - worked with a lady named Walker. She was named after her grandmother Frances Walker. When she was born, her mother said she didn't look like a Frances, so she was called by her middle name Walker. It suits her.

Throughout the years, I've only met people with the following names from your list: Charlene, Dominic, Regina, Trevor, Vera (2 women) and Yolanda. Other than Vera, the others I've met only once.
Aurora
I've heard of a couple of girls, maybe they'd be around eight or ten now. Plus I knew someone with a cat named Aurora. Or rather, the shelter had named the cat and when these people adopted her they changed it to something like Poo-Paw, because their kid couldn't say Aurora.
2.
Blair
I know one guy named Blair who is in his fifties, and I know of one woman named Blair in her mid-twenties.
3.
Charlene
This is my mother-in-law's name. I think I've met one or two others over the years.
4.
Daphne
No, I don't think so.

DominicA little boy around seven or eight and an older Italian-American man who's maybe sixty?
6.

Jillian
I know a couple Jillians in their teens and twenties. I think I knew a Gillian who'd be in her sixties now.
8.
Regina
A couple, one of them who'd be very old now and the other maybe sixty.
9.
Skylar
A few. I definitely know a teenage boy named Skyler, and I think I've run across a couple girl Skylars about the same age.
10.
Trevor
I went to school with one and I know of one who'd be about fourteen or fifteen now.
11.
Vanessa
Several, mostly my age, one about ten years older and one my daughter's age.
12.
Vera
None.
13.
Walker
One little boy about three.
14.
Yolanda
One, she'd be aa bit older than me.
15. Zachariah
I know several Zacks/Zachs but I don't know if any but one of them are Zachary or Zachariah. The one I know for sure is Zachary.

15. Zachariah
I know several Zacks/Zachs but I don't know if any but one of them are Zachary or Zachariah. The one I know for sure is Zachary.
It's probably safe to bet they're all Zachary/Zackary, but it'd be cool if one was Zachariah!
I went to school with a Jillian. My cousin has a toddler Vera.
I've met an Athena but not an Aurora.
Skylar seems very familiar, but it could be because I went to school with a guy named Schuyler.
For the others...I think so? I don't have a clear memory of meeting them, but I feel like I probably came across them at work (I meet strangers regularly through work). I'm least certain about Trevor and Walker; Yolanda and Regina seem the most familiar.
