75 Rare Girl Names that are Simply Stunning - NAMES & MEANINGS!

Rare girl names are all the rage with their air of mystery and intrigue. While you won’t hear them left and right, they’re undeniably stunning picks for parents looking for something unique. Check out our favorites!
Popularity is a hit or miss with parents, and for those looking for something special, rare girl names are perfect. These names aren’t heard in every playgroup and bring a splash of uniqueness to the table. Don’t worry that a name is too out there, as every name was once rare if you study the charts. Whether you love long names like Esmeralda or prefer something short and sweet like Aliz, we have the rare girl name for you.

Rare girl names come from around the world, with exotic picks like Aja, Samiya, and Keilani some of the stunning options to explore. If you turn to your roots or travel beyond, you’ll be surprised what beautiful names you’ll find. You can also check out place name choices like Havana and Alaska for a dash of worldly beauty.

Vintage picks are plentiful among rare girl names, and we have our eye on a few like Claudia, Agatha, and Harriet. There are old-school nicknames like Birdie and Goldie up for grabs as well, fitting in nicely beside Sadie and Ellie. If you love something modern monikers, try out Haisley or Tenley. For the best of both worlds, names like Elodie and Brenna saddle both styles.

A rare name doesn’t mean an out-of-style one, either. Virtue names like Faith and Grace are always a favorite, and Honesty and Verity are two of their less common friends. Word names are another huge trend, and we’re loving Winter and Wren as rare alternatives. Of course, unisex monikers and spunky picks continue to be all the rage as well, and Georgina offers up the nickname Georgie while Roxanne has Roxy, a spirited choice with style for days!

Whether you swoon over Saskia or fall for Faye, we have the rare girl names you’ve been searching for!

My name is Shosha. It is the Hebrew version of Susan, Suzanne or Susannah. My mother’s name is Suzanne and my daughter is Suzannah. I was born and raised in Australia and hated my name, as nobody could pronounce it and people made fun of it. Now I’m 39, I actually like my unique name. I recently found out there is a mountain in Japan called Mount Shosha, and a river in Russia called Shosha. “The Last Samurai” starring Tom Cruise, was filled at Mount Shosha.
I’d love to visit Japan anyway, but visiting a mountain with my name would be awesome!
Thanks for your videos. I’ve shared your baby name videos to my young pregnant friend. She’s 22 and has a little boy named Xavier Lee. She’s looking for the perfect girls name, and your videos are proving to be very helpful. 😊
I believe middle names should flow with the first name and surname. Parents should avoid names that can be made fun of through rhyming words, offensive nicknames or intentional mispronunciation. For example, when I was at school, other students called me “Choochow” which then became “Teatowel”. It was was more annoying that offensive, but even today, only 1 out of 40 or so can pronounce my name correctly the first time.
Say the chosen names of your baby out loud. Does it roll off the tongue nicely? Is it a name you can see yourself calling your child into adulthood? Monikers are important. 💚💜💚 from Victoria Australia

My husband and I live in East Africa and “Amani” is definitely not rare 😂 everyone including boys are named Amani❤ and since I’m delivering in the USA, in the past 4 weeks I’ve met two Amani’s in Virginia.

Africa is a massive continent. It would be helpful to have some more specifics regarding language and / or place of origin. Miyanda for example is a Zambian name.
