Unusual Baby Names: Great names at the bottom of the list
If you’re looking for unusual baby names that are also attractive and intriguing, a good place to start is at the bottom of the extended US popularity list, at those names given to just five babies.
Down there, among the wacky inventions or truly terrible kree8tiv spelling variations, are dozens of intriguing choices that you won’t encounter coming and going.
A few of them — Jessamy and Amyas, Celestia and Inigo — might even be considered fabulous. But all are worth further consideration. And given that each was given to only five babies in the entire US last year, they qualify as truly unusual baby names.
