Again, a lot of seemingly "old" names on the list. My parents almost named me Charlotte back in 1981. I'd say my favorite on the list is Harper, although I once considered it unique and as the list suggests, it's become more and more common.
I was raised in the "Mormon" faith and the religion is known for very "unique" names and even more unusual spellings. Out of the most common "unique" names people are using these days, these ones caught my eye.
- Arseny
- Calgary
- Delight
- Epic
- Everest
- Rhythm
- Solaris
- Moon
- Obsidian
- Zealous
I named my first born Boston, and I thought it was pretty unique back in 2006, but it's become increasingly common. I've found it funny that my daughter has a very old traditional name, Jocelyn, and I hear more Boston's than Jocelyn's these days.
I'm waiting for the 80's names to come back like Tiffany, Whitney, and Kimberly!
