Underrated baby names

Are you looking for a underrated baby name that is unique and off the radar? We have rounded up some seriously cool and underrated baby names that will have your friends envious over your unique baby name choice. Check out our list of baby girl and baby boy names that won’t be found on most popular baby name lists — which is just how we like it!

What makes a baby name underrated? First of all, you won’t find these names on top baby name lists or being heard on every playground across the country. In fact, if you are looking for a unique name, check out the Social Security Administration’s Top 100 baby name list to make sure your chosen name is not near the top.

Whether you are looking for a cool, preppy name or a more modern sounding name, you are sure to find the perfect moniker for your son or daughter with our baby name guide.

Of course, some people would argue that the toughest name of all is Chuck — after Chuck Norris. After all, Chuck Norris beat the sun in a staring contest. Chuck Norris is also the reason Waldo is hiding. Superman owns a pair of Chuck Norris pajamas. (Sorry, I can’t mention his name without a few Chuck Norris jokes thrown in!)
