When it comes to baby names, it can feel like there are thousands to choose from but also such a finite amount because of the reach those lists of the most popular names each year [1] tend to have. Although some parents opt for trendier names [2], if you're one of those parents looking for a less common name for your baby [3] that's still absolutely gorgeous, the following rare names [4] are prime choices.
Based on data from the last complete Social Security Administration baby names list from 2018, we've compiled 75 names given to 50 or fewer girls — that's one per US state or fewer — that might pique your interest if you're looking to fall in love with a not-so-trendy name for your baby girl [5].
