My name is Mariah. Not unheard of but I was the only one in my high school. I would also like to go on record I was named waaayy before Mariah Carey came on the scene.

I'm a Shannon and I have always loved my name.  It's traditional, but super unpopular - currently 687 on the SS list.

While I am not an advocate of digging through your family tree to find a family name, you can find some great original names this way.

Names from my family tree: Clara, Asa, Sudie, Eliza, Alciee, Emeline, Ada, Bateman (fn), Freeman (fn), Willis, Belle, Margaret Ann

Not so great names in my family tree:  Permelia, Parmelia, Bertha, Beulah

My name has been growing in popularity but I never had another Gianna in a class with me all the way through college.

Some cousins are:

Chira (same pronounciation as Kira/Keira, but it's the Italian phonetic spelling)

Mariesa (Mah-ree-suh - it's pretty much Marisa pronounced with Italian/Spanish phonics)

Marta - love this name!

Constance (Connie)

I also remember a girl named Dania in college (Dah-nya) and I worked with a Marja (Mar-juh) I like them both.

My name is (obvs) Tisha and it's not short for anything.  It's just Tisha.  My mom is Sylvia which isn't very common these days.

There was a thread maybe a week or so ago where people listed the most frequently-appearing as well as the most unusual names on their facebook friends list. You may want to search for that.

My name is Risa, which is not even remotely on the top 1000 (it briefly made an appearance in the 900s in the 1960s).

smariex18

We're naming our son Lachlan. For a girl I LOVE Lenora, Nora for short (my DH hates it of course, lol). My SD is named Korina & my name is Shawna. Everyone knows my name but I've probably only met about 15 others in my entire life. We also loved Siri (sear-ee, not sur-ee) for a girl and Remy, though that is definitely traditionally a boy's name. I'm obsessed with the name Nolan too, but DH vetoed that before iI was even pregnant, haha
