I was going through my liked names on the main website, and realized like 2/3 of them are names I never hear in the forums! So, I wanted to share them. I’m including just the rarest of the rare, which is still a lot Me? Hoping this becomes a bandwagon so everyone can gush about theirs and I can learn more names? It’s more likely than you may think! Buckle up, this is a long list lmao.

I know those are VERY out there for the most part, but which ones stand out to you? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any you actually like? Any you could see yourself using in a combo, either for yourself or just one that sounds/looks pleasing to you?
[name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to make a post with your own mega-underrated names!
These are the ones that catch my eye:
Arabesque - cute gp name that I’ve used for a character
Cerelia - I’ve flirted with putting this one on my list for a while!
Kirsi - so cute!
Lelia - listen to a singer with this name
Moselle - very pretty sound and underrated
Tally - love this for a nickname
Annelle - LOVE this name, would 100% be one of my favorite names on my list but I find it a little too close to a nsfw word
Chase - I have a really good friend named Chase!
Bindi - my number one association is Irwin but I’ve always had a soft spot for this name
Anaya / Jaya / Nayeli / Oksana / Perla / Skylie / Teal / Lael - I’ve encountered people irl with these names
Boreal - this is actually really neat…
Aris / Kiah - I flirted with putting these on my girls list
Tybalt - used to have on my boys list!
Aries - a really underrated unisex name
Rasmus / Sabin - LOVE these names and have them on my list
Gatlin / Adiel / Michaiah / Breland / Aubrey / Anson / Kerry / Esau - I’ve encountered people irl with these names
I love [name_f]Kirsi[/name_f], [name_f]Oksana[/name_f], [name_f]Zosia[/name_f] (I know a Zotia pronounced the same way!!), [name_f]Tulia[/name_f], [name_f]Reverie[/name_f], [name_u]Moonglade[/name_u], [name_m]Ashbel[/name_m], [name_m]Espen[/name_m], [name_m]Granger[/name_m], and [name_u]Rivers[/name_u] !!
As soon as I’m off work today, I am making this into a bandwagon. [name_f]Lily[/name_f], I am so thrilled about this idea! So so many interesting finds. I know for one my ‘liked’ list is beyond eclectic—I’m so ready to dive into yours.
Here are my top faves from each sex in your lists:
[name_f]Aidy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lottchen[/name_f]
[name_f]Fawndelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabesque[/name_f]
[name_f]Clyda[/name_f]
[name_f]Winika[/name_f]
[name_u]Dessie[/name_u]
[name_f]Lulie[/name_f]
[name_f]Oksana[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhody[/name_f]
[name_f]Tedda[/name_f]
[name_u]Chase[/name_u] (On my girls’ list! So dashing! Pun intended.)
[name_m]Hatcher[/name_m] (The [name_f]Easter[/name_f] form of [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]? Love!)
[name_m]Bing[/name_m] (“That’s not a name!” quoth my 2y/o.)
[name_m]Theomund[/name_m]
[name_m]Errol[/name_m]
[name_m]Drury[/name_m]
[name_m]Granger[/name_m] (Also love for girls!)
[name_m]Hewett[/name_m]
[name_m]Zell[/name_m]
These are amazing. I’m thinking [name_u]Chase[/name_u] [name_f]Lottchen[/name_f] and [name_m]Granger[/name_m] [name_m]Theomund[/name_m] could be cool for siblings! Perhaps also [name_m]Hatcher[/name_m] [name_m]Zell[/name_m] and [name_f]Winika[/name_f] [name_f]Aidy[/name_f]. Such fun lists!!
Tell that to Chandler Bing! Or better yet, Bing Crosby!
I’m only joking, I can absolutely understand why a child would say that. Afterall, I can only think of two examples in all the world, and one of them is fictional.
Yes, exactly! We were listening his music in the car once when she asked what the singer’s name was, and when I told her it was Bing, she gasped. I guess Bing is just too much for her Funny thing adores his music, tho.
So happy to see [name_f]Maisel[/name_f] on your list! I actually really like [name_f]Maisel[/name_f] for a girl because it feels a bit more substantial than [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] (which is a nn I adore!). It helps that I’m a big fan of [name_u]Marvelous[/name_u] Mrs. [name_f]Maisel[/name_f] but I would be slightly concerned that people would only associate it with the show.
Wow, you really don’t hear about these often. I’ve had [name_f]Inanna[/name_f], [name_f]Oksana[/name_f], [name_f]Perla[/name_f], [name_f]Vika[/name_f], [name_f]Helmi[/name_f], [name_u]Yuri[/name_u] and [name_m]Mingus[/name_m] on a list or two at some point (not for children though) and I’ve met an [name_f]Ornella[/name_f], but still, you’re right, you don’t hear it often. [name_m]Rasmus[/name_m] was my biggest surprise though! It would fit so well with Nameberry’s taste.
I’m loving: [name_f]Cerelia[/name_f], [name_f]Fawndelia[/name_f] (!), [name_f]Anaya[/name_f], [name_f]Lulie[/name_f], [name_u]Tally[/name_u] (I was working with a [name_u]Tally[/name_u] the other day!), [name_f]Ophira[/name_f], [name_f]Oksana[/name_f], [name_f]Ruelle[/name_f], [name_u]Sorrel[/name_u], [name_u]Chase[/name_u], [name_f]Ornella[/name_f], [name_u]Dessie[/name_u] (), [name_f]Picotee[/name_f] (Yay!! So rarely see this!), [name_f]Charm[/name_f], [name_m]Blues[/name_m], [name_m]Ashbel[/name_m], [name_m]Emyr[/name_m] (I’ve met an Emyr!), [name_m]Kester[/name_m] (love it), [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], [name_m]Gaius[/name_m], [name_m]Dodge[/name_m], [name_u]Rivers[/name_u], [name_u]Sabel[/name_u] and [name_m]Zell[/name_m]!
I might have to go through my lists, see what I can find
[name_f]Kirsi[/name_f], [name_f]Sirena[/name_f], [name_f]Kiska[/name_f], [name_f]Zosia[/name_f], [name_f]Olea[/name_f], [name_f]Helmi[/name_f], [name_f]Ophira[/name_f], [name_u]Luce[/name_u], & [name_u]Rivers[/name_u] are also on my masterlist!
Maisel-I came across a beautiful dog named this not too long ago. Maybe after the show Miss [name_f]Maisel[/name_f]. I don’t like it as much as I like [name_u]Hazel[/name_u], but I love how this lends to the easy nn of [name_f]Maisy[/name_f].
Pepita-Speaking of dogs…I knew the cutest Chihuahua named this! She was tan and full of personality. Isn’t that a perfect name?
Perla-I’m obsessed with [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and wish I could like this as much. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not into it for some reason.
Chase-I knew a girl named this! I was her camp counselor many years ago; probably close to 30 now. She was a little pistol and the name fit her perfectly. Her full name was [name_u]Chase[/name_u], but I always thought that it’d be really fun as a nn for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
Moonglade-Well, there’s a guilty pleasure if I ever heard one . What a cool sound & imagery this has though . Probably would be nice on a gray cat.
Boys:
Aero-I’ve been really into [name_u]Arrow[/name_u], but
Espen-This is so cool. This is a name that’s on my radar way more than most of these, and I like it. I just think that it’s too close to ESPN, so people might think you’re naming the kid after that.
Aubrey-This is totally one of those names that has become too feminine for a boy & too masculine for a girl.
Rivers-Yeah, this is the name of the lead singer in the band Weezer! I was very into them when I was a pre-teen/teen and loved this name. Now I find the ‘s’ annoying and really prefer the simpler [name_u]River[/name_u].
[name_f]Liriel[/name_f] and [name_f]Aidy[/name_f] are lovely
[name_u]Sabin[/name_u], [name_u]Rivers[/name_u], [name_m]Granger[/name_m], [name_m]Escher[/name_m], too.
