Want a name for your daughter that you don’t hear every day? Check out unpopular girl names. This varied mix of monikers comes in all shapes and sizes, hailing from far corners of the earth and all sorts of time periods. We’ve selected a few standouts worthy of your attention. Let’s meet them!
Many of today’s unpopular girl names were once super common. For instance, Dinah and her variants peaked in popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, but they’re now well below the Top 1000. She’s a biblical beauty worthy of time to shine again. Debra is another prime choice. Like Dinah, she rose to fame in the 1950s before falling off sharply in use. She means “bee.” Using a name like this is a surefire way to nab something well-known yet uncommon. Other once-popular picks include Hillary, Jodi, and Pamela.
Other unpopular girl names fit in great with modern names and trends yet just haven’t caught on quite yet. Names like Braylin, Brenley, and Payson don’t seem that out of place in a classroom, yet this terrific trio hasn’t experienced the same popularity as names like Brooklyn, Blakely, and Peyton. You can find rare nature names like Cassia and Ginger, as well as unisex cuties like Davy and Georgie. You can even find an eternally stylish E-name choice like Eviana. She’s right at home with Evelyn and Everly.
As always, amazing meanings are shining bright among these rare picks. Leonie‘s “lion” is one loaded with strength, while Adaya‘s “God’s jewel” is truly breathtaking. You can find a flash of ferocity with Keagan‘s “descendent of the fiery one,” or look to the skies with Asteria‘s “star.” See Rysa, Selma, and Tate for more excellent meanings.
Traveling around the world to tap into your roots is also a breeze with these special sweets. Aiko is a Japanese gem meaning “little loved one.” Over in India, you can find Indira, meaning “splendid,” and in Greece, meet Nessa. Feeling French? See Monique. Discover more unpopular girl names from around the world with Ridhi, Saloma, and Mahsa.
