Nameberry looked at the most unusual names to crack the US top 1000 baby names, and there were some interesting ones.
1. Antonella
2. Calliope
3. Mavis
4. Poppy
5. Sylvie
6. Benicio
7. Creed
8. Foster
9. Kylo
10. Ralph
11. Shepherd
Some of the names are drawn from popular culture (such as Kylo from Star Wars and Mavis from Hotel Transylvania). However some look back to vintage favourites like Poppy and Sylvie.
It seems that the days of 'Andrew's, 'Matt's and 'Anna's may soon be gone with the new trend of unusual baby names!
