Unpopular names?

I have a Quentin, Xavier, Juliet and Christina. The others are not that popular either except maybe dd1 who is just inside top 50 but we always get 'oh how lovely, dont hear that much these days' comments. think different names tend to be popular in different areas dd1 is the only one with her mane in her whole school.
3 dcs have uncommon 1st middle names Dawn, Alden and Ash.
My DC have very unusual 2nd middle names Ngaire, Atama, Aroha, Matiu, Eti and Kiri (maori names and were chosen to honnor my herritage.)

I have a Hazel. The only name my DH and I could agree on.

I think Goliath is a great name, I would have used that except I got a girl.

Second on the list was Admiral Lord Nelson Battle of Trafalgar.

Quentin was third. Yeah, I think it was a good thing she was not a he.

DD ended up with a nice Spanish name, Ines, which I thought was lovely except we get a lot of people asking how to pronounce it which I hadn't expected.

I have an 8 week old Malachi. That comes in at 243nd on the list

DS1 was born in 2005 and his name ranked 21. There were 3057 of them.
DS2's name was ranked 894 in the year of his birth. Only 29 other shared his name.

I think Myra has never been a particuarly common name,and therefore has few other associations,hence the stigma.

My DS is Sam, so no, not out of the top 100 or even the top 15. :)

I also really like Peter and am trying to bring DH around to it for next time. (It's got the same association as "willy" here unfortunately. :( )

More "unusual" names I like are Atticus and Indigo, both mentioned on here! I also like the months you don't hear as much: September, July, etc.

I know a Charis and she pronounces it Share-iss.

How do you find out how many of a certain name there are? I don't have time to trawl through 4,000 names

Mixedberries I also love the name Myra, it's such a sweet name. A shame about its associations.

I would not havre thought it possibly to get so many spelling variations out of the names Daniel and Riley.

Danyaal was my particular worst favourite, along with Rhylee.

Riley
Rhiley
Rhyley
Rhylee
Rylee
Rhyleigh
Ryleigh
Rileigh
Reilly

All there. [ confused]

I wish they'd condense all these spelling variations and show them as one representation on the stats. It completely skews the figures otherwise.

Hugos that is one thing that really holds me back from using the name Charis - it is pronounced Carr-iss and can also be spelt Karis, which looks a bit more like the pronunciation.

Not sure if that is 100% right either, but to my Northern Ireland accent it's a bit like that 'Carr' bit in the name Carrie and the later half of Isis.

I know a young Charis. I think it can also be Carys.

I love Ezekiel, Rafferty and Jasper however DH was at having a rarer/unusual name for DS in case he got bullied so we've got another Joshua here, i've bumped into 3 others in the baby classes so far . However the cat is called Jasper so I kind of win .
If we had had a DD she would have been Selina.

To the poster who likes Charis - I agree lovely name but looks weird - wouldn't it be Charice?

I have an 8 day old Rosalind

Clementine is lovely but for some reason people have a bad reaction to it.

I love all the flower names: Rose, Violet, Daisy, etc.

Recently heard: Tate (girl)

My Dd is 75th, I was quite surprised as Isobel is a popular name. Obviously just not spelled the way we spell it.

My daughter is 76th on this list, yet I don't know anyone else with her name! Mind you, we are in Scotland, so probably a bit different.....

My ds' name was 3332nd in the year he was born 2010. A diminuitive of it is more popular though.

I have an Asher!

My 16 year old has a middle name that is currently very popular indeed (and dare I say Chavvy) but when I gave it to him as a middle name it was totally unheard of. It's become very much an 'in' name of the moment among working class young mums in the last two years or so. I wanted it as a first name but all my family looked horrified, so I just used it as a middle name. I am kind of relieved now. I do still like the name but not how it is now perceived.

My youngest son is 12 and his name is a bit of an acquired taste I think, although I still love it. If you type it into the facebook search engine he is the only one in the world! I suspect it may become a lot more common in the next few years though.

I have a Bridget. DC2 will either be Cormac (not intentially Irish themed!) or Mathilda. With DD I was very concious of not giving her a name that was too popular having lived all my life surrounded by my name (is a very classic name). This time around I'm finding far fewer girls names I like, hence going for Mathilda which is much more popular according to the stats.

Dds are Nyah and Esme. Ds has a top 100 name.
