BABY NAMES NEEDED!

Hello everyone! I am currently 24 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I tried to find some names I liked on google but they were used so much lately I stopped looking. Trying to avoid top 100 names right now. Also don't know the gender because I wanted it to be a suprise. Please, please,please help me and my boyfriend out!

Can you give some example of what you like or don’t like?? Names or initials to avoid? Style - traditional, modern, biblical, nature, Shakespearean...? You need to give us a clue here, there are literally thousands of names.

Trying to avoid names like
Olivia
Sophia
Isabella
Jackson
Michael
and Sam are probably my least favorite

Office of National Statistics gives rankings of baby names used in England and Wales every year, so you can see how popular names are. The lower ranks may give you some inspiration. There are breakdowns by region too. It’s published in August every year, so the most recent is for 2018.

Have a look at Dark Greener too.

There no point in my suggesting names, you’ve mentioned my DC in names you want to avoid! As an aside though, I grew up with an unusual name (although it is much more common now), which was almost always mistaken for a much more popular mane of the time, and I hated it. I would have loved a top 20 name.

Can you give an example of some names you do like, even if you have ruled them out for being too popular? That would help people know what to suggest.
