What are some of the most uncommon girl names you know? Maybe the less heard, less usual ones. Outside of top 1000 is a plus but not required! [name_u]An[/name_u] example: I’d never heard of [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Noemi[/name_f], or [name_f]Innogen[/name_f] until recently. Any more you can think of?
