Unique Baby Names
Now more than ever, parents are opting for more unique and rare baby names for their children. In current culture, it's more acceptable now for a child to have a unique or unusual name rather than conform to naming norms. According to our baby naming survey of over 400,000 parents, a majority said that they wanted to avoid the more popular baby names. Dive into our user-favorite collection of unique and memorable baby names!
Unique names might include classic names from your family tree, surnames as first names, creative spellings of more popular names, names that combine two or more names, or names that are just outright created. Celebrities tend to lead the way in creative baby naming and can also influence baby naming culture and trends.
