Do You Want A Truly Unique Name?
A lot of people use the term unique baby names when what they really mean is unusual baby names. Names such as Romeo, Romilly, and Roxana may be distinctive, attractive, and uncommon, but they’re hardly unique.
But what about those names that truly are unique, as in one-of-a-kind?
Along with checking out which names were most popular on nameberry so far this year, we took a look at the names that were searched just once last quarter – nameberry’s own truly unique baby names.
Of course, there were many more unique baby names on nameberry, but these are our picks for the cream of the seldom-searched.
Might one be right for your truly unique baby?

British American Says:
Fred?! I like Fred a lot. I guess most people would go for Frederic or Frederick though, with the nickname Fred. So I wouldn’t call it unique either.
Art is decent too. Though again, probably heard as a nickname for Arthur.
Elle Says:
I know an adorable little Adalie! I think this name will continue to become more popular.
Saranel Says:
I have a strange feeling I might be responsible for 3 or 4 of these…
Jessica Says:
I know I’m responsible for Adara! I love that name so much, but my husband thinks it sounds like a car name (the new 2010 Kia Adara).
Lyndsay Says:
I am just so shocked that those were only searched once… Fred, Art, Rolando? I mean, in all the countries in the galaxy that nameberry reaches, only one person searched for Fred? And I think it may well have been me!
Saranel Says:
I’m positive I searched Sabra.
Lindy Says:
I know I did Sabra too?! although if you searched it here, maybe I searched it on another site?!
Pamela Satran Says:
Yes, although Fred was searched once, I suppose it didn’t really belong on this list as it doesn’t really fit most definitions of unique. It’s just so cute I couldn’t resist!
Elena Says:
I think I’m responsible for Jago, love it sooooo much! I know I’ve searched for Neely in the past too, I think its such a cute nickname for Cornelia. Adalie is sweet and I love Fred and Art.
Sandra Says:
I know I searched for Sabra. Read the name in a book (Call the Darknesss Light) – it was also the name of a contestant on a TV reality show.
Love the name.

My mother almost named me Sabra. Sometimes it used in Israel for patriotic reasons, it means “native born” in Hebrew.
Marissa Says:
I’m pretty sure I searched Blaize.
molly_locket Says:
Fred? Goodness, I remember searching for that, but really? Only once? Wow…
Saranel Says:
I was looking at Sabra because I searched Sabriel (its the name of book) and Sabra was listed.
flowerchic Says:
I LOVE Georgeanna
Curious on the correct pronunciation of Amelisa? I’ve never heard it before, but I love the way it looks!
Joan Says:
I know a little Adalie, too! So cute.
MissyGilmoreGirl Says:
I searched Cord! Great to see it on the list though I have to admit the description is pretty funny. Love Jago though.
Linelei Says:
I think Adara was me!
Good list. I like all the A girls’ names.
alexa400 Says:
Adalie is one of my faves, that one very likely could have been me
pam Says:
Wow, all you secret searchers are coming out of the closet!
Flowerchic, as Amelisa is a variation of Amelia, I assume it’s pronounced with the same soft a at the beginning, as in “as” or “am.” So am-eh-lee-sa. It IS pretty though I bet it would be often confused with Annelisa.
Elle Says:
Amelisa sounds like…”I’m a Lisa”…lol.
jillian Says:
I know children named Sabra and Jago.
auburn Says:
This is a fun blog post, especially as I believe I’m the one who searched Neely! I saw a reference to the character in Valley of the Dolls online, and naturally had to know the origin of the name. For anyone interested, it was actually a nickname from her real surname O’Neill. Her actual names were Ethel Agnes. A tragic character, but a sweet name.
Emmy Jo Says:
I wish Abelard were a usable name. It could be so handsome. If only it didn’t contain the word “lard”!
dancingdandy Says:
adalie sounds heavenly…
Ill name my baby girl Vironicka Adalie… now I need to find a name for the other baby,which is a boy. Im havin a boy girl twin.
SJ Says:
Looooooove Adalie! I know I’ve searched it several times lol.
erin13 Says:
I love Adalie. It fits in so well with Adeline, Addison, Ava group yet it stands out at the same time. Perfect.
My little sister is Natalia nn. Tallie.
Divine1 Says:
My son is Blaize! We just love his name! In honor of Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, inventor, child prodigy, and writer.

Fred? How did Fred end up on this list? Unusual today? Absolutely. Unique? Notsomuch.
And Destin is just thatclose to Desitin. I don’t think diaper rash cream is what I’d like to think of every time I hear a name.
