We were going to name our daughter Amelia but decided against it due to it being so popular last year (who wants to be the fourth girl in the class with the same name?). Instead we went with Lilith.
Looks at list
Damn it.

My sister is pregnant and she keeps texting me baby names.
I’ve tried telling her that it’s perfectly acceptable to have a boring name. She has a boring name, I don’t have a boring name I have a unique name, and I really wish I had a boring name.
Ultimately though you can stay safe by not naming any kid after a TV series character when the series has not yet completed, I.e. Khaleesi and ensuring the name is spelt in the normal manner, and not something like Kylie but spelt Kailee

We had extensive criteria so Lilith was chosen based on that (it's a pre-existing name, it can be as formal or informal as she likes, etc..). The goal wasn't to have a unique name but I'm tickled that there'll probably be a load of Lilys in her class!
