Following the release of their annual "Most Popular Baby Names" list, BabyCenter has put together another compilation: the most "unusual and surprising" baby names of 2014.
Drawing from the nearly half a million babies born to registered BabyCenter users in 2014, the site compiled a list of creative baby names that were each given to at least three children.
These less common baby names include Guru for boys and, echoing popular culture, Yolo for girls. There are also a number of brand-inspired names -- Audi, Dior, Dodge, Hennessy, Hilton, Nivea, Royce and Sephora. According to BabyCenter's annual baby-naming survey, 52 percent of parents this year said they liked unusual names, up from 43 percent last year. CUT? [Some parents took that idea literally, giving their daughters names like Unique and Eunique.]
BabyCenter released two lists: 50 girl names and 50 for boys. But, reflecting the sentiment of these creative baby names, gender normativity need not dictate your baby naming decisions.
