While we’re used to reporting on the most popular baby names (Amelia and Isla, here’s looking at you), and even the worst baby names (Shy and Mattel) a new, somewhat more eye-opening, list has just surfaced: the most unusual names of the past 12 months.

From data obtained from the United States Social Security Administration, we narrowed a very long list down to 50 of the most unusual boy and girl names in America right now. The below names (25 for girls and 25 for boys) - include some that are kind of even pretty (others, not so much…).

Without any further ado, 25 of the least common girls’ names:

  1. Armelle

  3. Camari
  4. Delaney
  5. Ember
  6. Farren
  7. Gracen

  10. Hensley
  11. Ina

And, 20 of the least common boys’ names:

  2. Arlo
  3. Benton
  4. Brecken
  5. Bridger
  6. Camilo
