Do you know of any good websites that give unusual baby names?

I've found quite a few baby names websites through Google, but they are all pretty much the same boring common baby names.

I LOVE unusual strange and uncommon names! :)

If you know of anywhere on the web where I can get ideas for baby names that are uncommon - please share :)

thanx :)

Try www.behindthename.com


Not simply odd spellings or created names, but rather a large assortment of names -- both familiar and uncommon -- with proper origins and meanings, all searchable by language/nationality, category, theme, etc. In other words, if you like Massimo and would like to find similar names, you could simply click on "Italian." If Lorelei, Freya or Torsten are more your style, check out the different groupings of mythological names. There are links for names related to Astronomy and Literature, entire lists with Biblical or Celtic roots and those with meanings specifically related to happy, red, nature or gemstone meanings, not to mention pretty much any language or culture you can think of.


Definitely some unique options available, and more reliable than most name sites. If you have trouble finding any of those or have something particular in mind, feel free to ask! ;)

Ps. You didn't mention a particular style, but if you'd be interested in checking out some less common Gaelic names (complete with pronunciations), you might also like www.babynamesofireland.com
