Most parents these days are in search of an unusual name for their baby - and this may just be the list of names for you!
Nameberry compared all the names that were officially given to babies in America in 2016 against their list of baby name ideas in their database.
From that comparison, they were able to find a bunch of names that not one parent had given their child last year.
5,000 names, in fact.
But they decided to narrow down that list to the top 100...
