Every year the Social Security Administration releases a master list of used baby names, and adds up the total number of babies given each. Whiles names like Jacob, Ethan, Olivia or Emma took home top honors, we find ourselves more interested in the least popular names. After all, we don’t want to use the same baby name our neighbor picked, right? Nameberry.com compiled a list of the best names that were used for less than 25 babies. Below are the most unusual names for 2009.
