Searching for unique girl names? This is the perfect list to inspire you.

Each year, the pool of baby names becomes more diverse and varied, as more parents choose from outside the most popular rankings. In 2023, a third of all baby girls in the US, and a quarter of baby boys, were given names not in the Top 1000.

The great news is that rare names don't have to be modern inventions with creative spellings — although they certainly can be! But here at Nameberry, we also love unusual names with deep roots, which have either slipped out of use, or have never been well-known in the States.

To inspire you, here are 52 such names, two for every letter of the alphabet, that are all below the Top 1000 most popular baby names 2024. They come from a wide range of origins, and are all uniquely wonderful.
