About this list
It's a baby namers' nightmare: You pick a name you believe is rare and unusual, only to find that it's become unexpectedly trendy, even popular.
How does this happen? Popularity in baby names changes quickly, and first-time parents may judge a name's uniqueness by their own personal experience. They've never met a boy named Memphis or Adonis, so they assume that must be an undiscovered name.
You may be surprised to learn that there were over 400 baby boys named Memphis in the US last year, and over 1500 called Adonis. In fact, all the names on this list were used for at least 200 baby boys in the most recent year counted.
Some are new names or at least newly-revived names, or surnames and word names recently turned into first names. If you're searching for an undiscovered name for your baby boy, keep looking.
