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:
