Choosing a name for your imminent arrival can be a daunting task for parents. Do you both like the name? Will it suit your new baby? Plus, how can you be sure there won’t be four more children in his/her class in school with the same one? If you’re determined to steer clear of the popular names, looking instead for uncommon and really different alternatives, here are 100 Of The Most Unique Baby Names You Might Want To Know.

As someone who had an unusual name for the time, in a small town in Ireland (and loved being the only one in town), I truly understand parents seeking an unusual name. My mother insisted it was never shortened either!

When the time came for us to name our son, I too wanted to choose a good strong name that was unusual. And six years into his school life, he is still the only one of that name, in a school of 350+ pupils. His name is Christian, by the way! Not a completely unknown name, but where we live it turned out to be unique.

And it looks like there’s plenty of parents out there looking for something different too when it comes to naming their child. A recent Time survey showed that 60% of Millennial parents wanted to choose a baby name that was unique. To be unique is so important nowadays, that many parents don’t even reveal their chosen name until birth, for fear of copycats!

But what can you choose that is truly unique?

Babycenter compiled a list of the most unusual and creative baby names of 2015 (from over 300,000 parents surveyed), with each name that features being given to at least three children to qualify.

Looking at the list, it appears these creative parents of boys took inspiration from many places, including designers (Armani), Gods (Apollo, Oden), and movies and books (Jedi, Scout, D’Artagnan). Whilst the parents of girls were inspired by places (Alabama, Kansas), flowers (Primrose, Tulip) and nature (Storm)!

Without further ado, here are those 100 names that are definitely unique….
