I decided to make a list of my favourite names that aren’t in the top 1000(. Favourite Names Not in the Top 1000 | Nameberry)
I was actually quite surprised that some qualified, while others that I had originally thought would make the list didn’t. (A few just got away from me in the #900 range too).
Also there are a few short forms that are more common than they look on the list, since a lot would probably have the longer, more official birth name.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on some of them? Also if you have favourites that aren’t part of the top 1000, please feel free to share ! 
(Sorry the list isn’t alphabetical, I can’t rearrange them on my phone)
