Favorite names you don't hear every day

just came across the thread, for the record I'm from Ireland and Declan is a very common name - nobody would bat an eyelid at it.

Don't name your son Kieran though, here everyone will ask you why you named a boy "Karen".

I knew a Calvin once, went just by Calvin. Your DH didn't happen to work in Afghanistan, did he?

I like most of these names, but if the goal is a name not too popular then I would probably avoid Liam, Henry, Connor, Caleb, Amanda and Caroline.

How about Brunette!

I personally LOVE Gracyn. We're having a boy, but that was my 1st choice for a girl's name. (Although it could be used for both....would probably spell it Grayson for a boy.). My husband wasn't as fond of it, so sadly if I ever do have a girl she likely won't have that name, but I still love it! I think it fits in the 'different but not odd' category perfectly.
