When you have the incredible responsibility of naming a child, of course you want to get it right.
Most parents are arguably looking for something familiar but not overused.
But for parents who want something truly unique, US website, Nameberry, has revealed a list of names they say “nobody is using”.
“We decided to run the new 2016 extended list of baby names from the Social Security Administration — all the baby names recorded in the US last year — against the complete list of names in our own database,” writes Nameberry’s Pamela Redmond.
“What’s left is an accounting of names that were used for NO children in 2016, a collection of truly unique baby names.”
The website got a list of 5000 no-named names down to 100.
Names cast aside include reality star Kim Kardashian’s creative name choice, North (and West).
Lily may have been a popular girls’ name in the past few years but Bluebell, Daffodil and Bee are out.
For the boys River is okay but Beach, Night and Land are the names from nature that are being passed over.

Most of those ingredients match perfectly with my cevfefe brulee
Hi! Meet my kids, Diablo and Trout. Seriously, WTF.
They'll get along great with my kids Puck, Bard and Sheherazade!
As an added bonus, if the kids are mucking around at the BBQ, you always get to say get the Puck out of there without anyone raising an eyebrow.
