We too, knew no one personally who had the name Levi or who'd named one of their kids that. ...until we named our son 14 months ago. Now it's no longer as unique as we thought it would be. Oh well. I don't regret not changing our mind at the last minute. I'd rather he grew up knowing a Levi here and there, than us (and him) thinking that 'he was always going to be Levi and now he's -------'.
