Popularity is a hit or miss with parents, and for those looking for something special, rare girl names are perfect. These names aren’t heard in every playgroup and bring a splash of uniqueness to the table. Don’t worry that a name is too out there, as every name was once rare if you study the charts. Whether you love long names like Esmeralda or prefer something short and sweet like Aliz, we have the rare girl name for you.
Rare girl names come from around the world, with exotic picks like Aja, Samiya, and Keilani some of the stunning options to explore. If you turn to your roots or travel beyond, you’ll be surprised what beautiful names you’ll find. You can also check out place name choices like Havana and Alaska for a dash of worldly beauty.
Vintage picks are plentiful among rare girl names, and we have our eye on a few like Claudia, Agatha, and Harriet. There are old-school nicknames like Birdie and Goldie up for grabs as well, fitting in nicely beside Sadie and Ellie. If you love something modern monikers, try out Haisley or Tenley. For the best of both worlds, names like Elodie and Brenna saddle both styles.
A rare name doesn’t mean an out-of-style one, either. Virtue names like Faith and Grace are always a favorite, and Honesty and Verity are two of their less common friends. Word names are another huge trend, and we’re loving Winter and Wren as rare alternatives. Of course, unisex monikers and spunky picks continue to be all the rage as well, and Georgina offers up the nickname Georgie while Roxanne has Roxy, a spirited choice with style for days!
Whether you swoon over Saskia or fall for Faye, we have the rare girl names you’ve been searching for!
