Unpopular Baby Names That Deserve Another Chance

One of the best parts of having a baby is getting to choose the name. Some parents have family names selected before they even get pregnant while others wait until their baby is in their arms before deciding on a moniker. Family names, baby name books, and baby name websites are often listed as places that parents look for name inspiration. But there’s one great resource that’s often overlooked: The Social Security Administration's ranking list of most popular baby names. This list provides the top 1000 names given to boys and girls in any given year and can be a great tool to figure out if the name you’re thinking about is as creative as you thought. It can also be a great place to draw inspiration!

If you’re in search of a unique name, the bottom of the list is a great place to start. Check out the list below for names 990-1000 for both boys and girls. One of these unpopular baby names may be just what you're looking for!
