Reaching your due date soon and still none the wiser about what to name your baby?

Well, there are so many gorgeous names to chose from, of course, and while some go down the classic name route (like George and Amal just did with their twins Ella and Alexander), others like to opt for a moniker which is far more unique or even totally obscure.

If you fall into the latter category, you might be interested to know that baby name website Nameberry recently analyzed data from the Social Security Administration to come up with 5000 names that—get this—nobody used last year. Yup, it’s true. Talk about unique!

Want something no-one else is going for? Here are some of the baby names no new parents opted for last year – meaning, of course, they are ripe for the picking:
