Many new parents spend an entire pregnancy trying to think of a unique, interesting name for their unborn baby.
While some love traditional or fashionable monikers, others are determined to find something a little bit different.
And this isn't anything new, and the trend of seeking unusual names dates back decades, and a new piece of research proves parents in the 1800s were just as creative as today's mums and dads.
Names website Nameberry has collected the list from births recorded on the Social Security Administration in the US, and we're not sure many of them would work in 2022.
Here's their list in full...
Harm - It's actually a Dutch name that comes from Herman, but it's not quite as nice in English... There were nine in 1904.
Man - Yes, it's of course a boys name and there were five in 1884.
Spicy - Again, probably not one many parents would pick today but five picked it for their newborn daughters in 1883.
Wealthy - There were some ambitious parents in 1887, and seven chose to name their daughter Wealthy.
Almond - This name entered the list in 1885, when six baby boys were handed it. It may have been after the nut, or as a variation of the popular name Almund, which is a contraction of Adalmund.
Birdella - Five little girls were named Birdella in 1882, thought to be a combination as Birdie and Ella.
Buford - the name has now become in extinct, but in 1883 five little boys were given it. Thought to be a "quirky" variation of Bluford.
Branch - The experts as NameBerry believe that Branch could actually come back into fashion as a "sturdy" unisex name. However it first made the top names list in 1889, when seven boys were given it.
Bush - Probably one that most parents wouldn't consider today, but back in 1889 seven Baby Bushes.
Cannie - Many wrongly assume this is a shortened version of Candice, but it actually predates it. In 1893 there were 11 baby Cannies, while Candice didn't make it onto the names list until the 1940s. It's believed to have Scottish Gaelic origins.
Cappie - Short for Capitola, it rose to fame because of the novel The Hidden Hand. In 1883 five baby girls were given the name.
Cinnamon - A popular name in 1969, with 202 little girls given it. The spike was probably due to two songs - Cinnamon by Derek and Neil Young's Cinnamon.
Doll - while Dolly has always been a popular girls name, in 1902 this variation became a hit with boys. It has German origins.
Girtha - While Gertha has made a comeback, we're not expecting to see this one making a return. There were 13 baby girls with it in 1903.
