60 Unusual Baby Names That’ll Kick the Trendy Names Off Your List in 2019

As someone who lives her life with the name Alessia [1], I'm used to having to correct people on the pronunciation and spelling of my name — and though I missed out on personalized pencils as a kid and have lost hundreds of spare moments reintroducing myself to people who aren't compassionate enough to hold a unique name [2] in their brains for more than three seconds, I've learned to own my name. I'm glad I'm not Nicole S. or Katie with the brown hair, that's for sure. If you're looking to kick the trendy names [3] off your baby name list in 2019 to opt for something that'll spice up your child's future class roster the way Alessia did for me, we've sifted through some of our absolute favourite unusual names to inspire you.

I threw my own name in there (Sue me!), but really, these 60 names are good.
