It’s natural to want to stand apart, and unusual girl names are a great way to do it. It’s natural to want something a little different, especially as alternative spellings continue to make popular girl names even more common. While they might not be as popular, unusual girl names aren’t lacking in style. Some of the coolest names exist among them, each waiting for their time to shine.
Some of our favorite unusual girl names are word picks. You’re probably used to seeing them towards the top of the charts like Lily and Harper, but you’d be surprised what awesome picks you can find if you dig a little deeper. We love Easter, a joyful name with religious ties, as well as Sable, a less common colorful pick. Story is another we have our eye on, something we can easily picture on a little girl with a wild imagination. If you’re looking for an extra splash of adventure, try out Mystery, a word name find with cool connotations.
Unusual baby girl names might be uncommon, but many follow today’s hottest trends like Murphy and Berkley, two surname sweeties that are just as cool as Madison and Kennedy. There are many adorable vintage girl names too, like Polly and Goldie. Similarly, Poppy and Effie have the cutesy vibes of Kinsley and Paisley without the heavy use. If you’re a globetrotter at heart, check out the unusual place name finds, such as India and Dublin.
Many of our favorite unusual girl names are just a step away from more popular names. Britannia is a twist on Brittany, while Nydia is a fun spin on the buttoned-up Lydia. For those who love Aubrey, check out Aubriana, a grander version of the unisex darling.
Don’t be intimidated by unusual girl names. They might be a bit different, but they’re just as usable as mainstream names.
