Rare Place Names

Rare place names are those that are undiscovered. Some place names, such as Cayman and Oslo, can be used for boys, but most of the rare place names work best for baby girls.

Along with Cayman and Oslo, other rare place names for babies include Avalon, Cyprus, Delphi, Marbella, Nairobi, Quebec, Sicily, and Bronx. Rare place names inspired by American states include Alabama, Jersey, Louisiana, and Indiana.

Here are some choices on (and off) the map, including unique city names, country names, island names, and the names of mythical lands, all of which can be used for babies.
