Offbeat Baby Names

Offbeat baby names are those that are just a little bit quirky, a tiny bit unusual, and off the beaten track. These names are unexpected on little babies, either because they’re old-fashioned, like Henrietta and Otis, or they’ve always been outside of the mainstream, such as Thisbe and Macallister.

Along with Otis, other offbeat baby names in the US Top 1000 include Beatrix, Bellamy, Clementine, Cleo, Jacoby, Lyle, Magnus, and Otto. But most quirky baby names fall well outside the most popular list, such as Flavian, Jessamy, Rafferty, and Wednesday.

Quirky names are perfect for creative, individualistic people and their children. Here are some offbeat baby names you might want to consider today.
