2024 Single digit names - Girls

[TheDonsDingleberries]

People often come to this board looking for lesser used names, so here is a small selection of girl names that were used fewer than 10 times for babies born in 2024 according to the latest ONS data set.

Some are names which were never commonly used, and some are names which might have been used more frequently in the past but have fallen out of favour with today's parents.

Lots of lovely names there. It's a shame the majority of us seem to choose the same 2 or 300 names when there are over 7000 out there.

Aphra, Araminta, Cameron, Demelza, Elke, Jacinta, Kerensa, Melinda, Rosita, Rowena, Sorrel, Tansy and Yvette are my favourites.

My favourites are

Carrie
Cedar
Snow
Sorrel
Tansy

I like

Carina
Marcia
Nula
Sorrel
Tansy
Thora

Aphra
Brianne
Clemency
Kerensa
Rosamund
Rowena
Sorrel
Tamar
Tansy (I’m saving this one for a future dog!)
Thora

DD’s name was only used 25 times last year - perfectly normal, familiar name but just out of fashion at the moment. I quite like it being unusual, but (as a bit of a names/languages geek) agree that it’s a bit sad that there are so many lovely, interesting, meaningful names out there but so few of them are used regularly.

I like Angeline, Clemency, Philomena, Prudence, Spencer, Tandy,

2 names I had picked out for DD are on that list

Aww my name is on that list 💖

Lots of great names. Lynette is one of my favourites

Surely Nula is Nuala?

Elke was on my list for dd 15 years ago.

i opened this thread expecting it to be the alphabet.

Mine is too!

I can't believe how out of favour Kerry is. When I was at school there were five in every class.
