This is a list of names I came up with. They are a bit unusual, jarring, mystical, and, most of all, unique. These names will surely set your child apart from the crowd.
  1. Xanthe

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "golden, yellow"

    • Description:

      X marks the spot in names these days, usually at the middles or ends of names, but here is one that puts it squarely up front.
  2. Auden

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "old friend"

    • Description:

      The poetic, soft-spoken Auden has recently started to be considered as a first name option, used for both sexes, appreciated for its pleasing sound as well as its link to the distinguished modern Anglo-American poet W.H. Auden.
  3. Emberly

    • Origin:

      Modern invented name

    • Description:

      The Kimberly of the current age, but currently less popular than either Ember or Everly.
  4. Hayze

    • Description:

      Hayze is a modern masculine name that appears to be a contemporary variation of Hayes or a creative spelling of Haze. Hayes originated as an English surname derived from locations or the word for "hedged area," while Haze refers to light fog or mist in nature. As a first name, Hayze has gained traction in recent years as part of the trend toward surname-inspired names and unique spellings. The letter 'y' adds a distinctive touch that appeals to parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon. Hayze fits well with other popular short, strong-sounding boy names ending in consonant sounds. While still relatively rare, its usage has been gradually increasing in the United States, particularly in southern and western regions, as parents seek names that feel both modern and substantial.

  5. Theory

    • Origin:

      English word name from Greek

    • Meaning:

      "idea, speculation"

    • Description:

      Could be an unconventional route to Theo.
  6. Avi

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "father"

    • Description:

      The rise of trendy Arianna has led to unisex Ari gaining speed for girls in recent years as well. Now as Avianna climbs the charts, it may be time to start considering Hebrew Avi for a girl as well.
  7. Lovejoy

    • Origin:

      English surname

    • Meaning:

      "love joy"

    • Description:

      Lovejoy's use as a surname follows that as a nickname. In Medieval times, when many people shared names, nicknames were relied upon to distinguish individuals. Many of these nicknames later became surnames. Lovejoy, from the Middle English love(n) and joie, referred to someone who was affectionate and joyful — although the Oxford Dictionary of American Family Names notes that Lovejoy may have been bestowed ironically, at times.
  8. Evrose

    • Origin:

      Invented literary name

    • Description:

      A combination-type name invented by L. Frank Baum for a Princess character who first appears in his book Ozma of Oz.
  9. Anthe

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "blossom, bloom"

    • Description:

      A floral Greek name that may appeal to those who enjoy Anthea, Athena, and Ianthe, but were also hoping for something more concise. It appears in Greek mythology as one of the Alcyonides, a nymph of fair weather who throws herself into the sea after the death of her father. She is transformed into a kingfisher, meaning this name has a double nature connection.
  10. Blayze

    • Description:

      Blayze is a modern masculine name that represents a creative spelling variation of 'blaze.' Derived from the English word referring to a bright flame or fire, Blayze evokes imagery of intensity, energy, and brilliance. This contemporary name gained modest recognition in the early 2000s as part of the trend toward names with unusual spellings and powerful meanings. The distinctive 'y' spelling gives the name a unique visual appeal while maintaining its strong phonetic impact. Blayze carries connotations of passion, determination, and dynamic energy, making it appealing to parents seeking a bold, modern choice for their sons. Though still relatively uncommon, the name has gradually increased in usage, particularly in the United States, attracting parents drawn to its combination of familiar sound and unconventional spelling.

  11. Polyhymnia

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "one of many praises"

    • Description:

      Polyhymnia was one of the nine Muses of Greek mythology, associated with hymns, poetry, and dance. It's a whole lotta name for one girl, but now that Persephone and Calliope are on the table, Polyhymnia feels like much more of a possibility.
  12. Shalona

    • Origin:

      Modern invented name

    • Description:

      One of the sha-la-la sisters.
  13. Raycer

    • Description:

      Raycer is an uncommon masculine name with modern origins. It appears to be a creative spelling variation of 'racer,' suggesting speed, competition, and dynamism. This contemporary name likely emerged in the late 20th or early 21st century, reflecting parents' desire for distinctive names with energetic qualities. While not traditional, Raycer follows the trend of occupation-inspired names and those with 'Ray' elements. It remains relatively rare in most English-speaking countries, appealing to parents seeking a unique, vibrant name with athletic or competitive connotations.
  14. Corazon

    • Origin:

      Spanish word name

    • Meaning:

      "heart"

    • Description:

      With word names increasingly acceptable or even desirable, this Spanish word for heart, brought to the fore by Philippine president Corazon Aquino, may find more takers.
