Unique baby names that aren’t in the top 1000 – and that’s why we love them
Here’s what happens in each stage of pregnancy
If you happen to be a first-time mum or know someone who’s navigating their way with a baby bump, you’ve probably heard of terms like “first trimester” and “second trimester.” And while the exact date where you tumble—pun intended—from one to the other may have you confused for a while, we sort of have a quick and easy breakdown to help you understand exactly where you are. And then of course, what to expect! What...
Trying for a baby soon? Here’s a timeline for your year leading up to conception
We’ve talked all about what to do during pregnancy, breastfeeding, the toddler stage, and more. But what about the preconception stage? If you have ample time to plan and prep, you might feel like you should be doing something… but you’re not really sure what to do! That’s why we’ve put together this straightforward timeline.

It’s never a good feeling when your child ends up with a baby name that three other kids in their class have. You never want to hear “which one?” in reference to your kid, and neither do they. It’ll likely influence their self-confidence as well, which is never something we want to risk messing with.
That’s why we’ve come up with this list of super unique names that are not in the top 1000 most popular names right now. We promise they’re cute, but you’ll never have to worry about a hundred other kids with the same name.
While not all of them are up everyone’s alley, that’s kind of the point! We’ve got 40 traditionally feminine names, 40 traditionally masculine names, and 20 gender-neutral options. We know out of these 100 names you’ll be able to find a super special name you love, especially if unique names are your thing.
