Exceptionally uncommon names you've probably never heard
Selecting a unique baby name is a beautiful way to celebrate your child's individuality from day one. While popular names like Emma and Liam have their charm, unique names offer your child a distinctive identity that sets them apart. These rare gems often carry rich meanings, interesting histories, and connections to diverse cultures around the world.
While unique names offer many advantages, it's important to consider pronunciation, spelling, and how the name will age with your child. Test the name by saying it out loud, considering potential nicknames, and imagining it in various life contexts - from the playground to professional settings.
Our database includes over 30,000 unique names from cultures worldwide. Whether you're drawn to names from mythology, nature, literature, or international origins, you'll find options that are both meaningful and distinctive. Use our search filters to explore by origin, meaning, or style to find that perfect one-of-a-kind name for your baby.
