Unusual baby names come from a range of categories, from ethnic names to place names to word names to surnames used as first names. Unusual names are apt to draw attention, which makes them frequent choices among celebrities. Recent starbabies have been given unusual names such as Hart, Olympia, Taj, and Vale.
Along with Olympia and Hart, other unusual baby names on the rise include Alistair, Birdie, Coco, Fielder, Henrietta, Lumi, West, and Zebedee. Ultra-rare and unusual names given to fewer than five babies last year include Conran, Madrigal, Oceon, and Plum.
