If you are looking for a unique name for your newborn daughter, it’s probably better to avoid the more popular names and go with something more unusual. These old-fashioned girls’ names are great options, and you don’t have to worry about them being too trendy or bogan.
We had a few different criteria that we used. First, we decided to only include names that had a relatively high frequency in our data. We also wanted to avoid the most common names that were used for both men and women.
If you’ve ever had a dog, cat, or baby you know that there are plenty of common, old lady names out there, so they’re pretty much safe to use. As for the ones that have been around a long time, chances are they belong to people who were alive before you and the name has been around a while. So, if your name isn’t as old as the earth, there’s a good chance you’re safe.
