Leo and [name_u]Lupin[/name_u]

Anna and [name_f]Tuesday[/name_f]

From my long lists: [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_f]Aoife[/name_f]! (I know [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] is a very common Irish name, but I live in [name_u]America[/name_u] and it’s unusual here. I think it’s the most out-there choice at least in my area from my list.)

Girls
Most Common: [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
Uncommon: either [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] or [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]

For girls I would consider my most “outlandish” to be Medusa or Furie and my most “common” would probably be [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] or [name_u]Eden[/name_u].

For boys, most “outlandish” would be Zelophehad or Rydström and most “common” would be [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] or [name_m]Judah[/name_m].

The most outlandish: [name_m]Musa[/name_m] (g) & [name_m]Seraphim[/name_m] (b)

Edelweiss & [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_m]Gustav[/name_m] vs [name_m]Henry[/name_m]

Well, there’s different kinds of outlandish


For boys:
Feminine names like [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] and [name_f]Avalon[/name_f]
Literary/game names like Eragon, Arathorn, Thoradin
Foreign names like [name_m]Akito[/name_m]
Common: [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] & [name_m]Henry[/name_m]

For girls:
Foreign: PhÆ°á»Łng & LĂĄn Huā 蘭花 nn [name_f]Orchid[/name_f] (not outlandish in their native countries but may be a little troublesome when no one knows how to say it here)
Literary: Jinora, Alita
Other: [name_f]Swanhilde[/name_f] & [name_f]Boudicca[/name_f]
Common: [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]&[name_f]Ava[/name_f]

I have a lot more unusual names but I guess this will do.
There’s also different ways to determine “common” but I just went by USA’s SSA 2019 list
I also didn’t include the negatively associated GP names for outlandish or did you want me to include those even though they probably won’t get used?

I would use any of them. I don’t really consider them outlandish, just more uncommon.

38

The most common names on my list are definitely [name_m]William[/name_m] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f]. The most outlandish
I guess maybe [name_m]Drake[/name_m] and [name_f]Gelsomina[/name_f]. (I don’t really have too many out-there names on my list – especially not for boys! Lol)
