So far, that is.
We get it, settling on the perfect name for your impending bundle can be tough.
You want that perfect, one-of-a-kind, absolutely and unequivocally special name - while still making sure it's not
too out there.
However, you also don't want them sharing a name with half of their classmates.
In the search for that magical moniker, some parents get creative with spelling, while others change up the pronunciation - all in an effort to make sure their little one is different.
We've seen the rise of a variety of different baby name trends this year, from the-ever-increasing popularity of
floral-inspired names to ones
influenced by IKEA names.
And then there are the parents who look
really far outside the box in an effort to find a name that suits their bundle.
Australian parenting website
Kidspot recently shared a list of 20 new and unusual names that parents have picked so far this year.
There's some twists on previous name trends - like Freezia, which we'd imagine was inspired by the flower freesia - and some more old-school names like Aeric.
And then there's some more unusual choices.
