These Are the Most Unusual Baby Names of 2015

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, already parents of a little girl named North, went the unexpected route once again and named their newborn son Saint.
But they're hardly the only parents to give their kid an out-of-the-box name in 2015. The website Babycenter crunched the numbers from 340,000 users who had kids this year, and picked out some of the most surprising names of the year's newborns.

The most popular names of the year were no surprise, with Sophia and Jackson ruling the charts for several years in a row. (They're also popular names for pets.) But more and more parents are looking to unusual sources for inspiration. Some are even naming their kids after Instagram filters, like Lux, Ludwig, Amaro, and Reyes, and planets like Venus and Jupiter.

But that was just the beginning. In a survey conducted by the site, 43% of parents said they like unusual names, and they went all out in 2015. Many of them looked to pop culture for names like Swayze, Orson, and Inigo (as in Montoya, from The Princess Bride.) Others, like the Kardashian-West family, went for the concept of holiness, using names like Messiah, Apollo, and Oden.

Here are some standouts from BabyCenter's list of unusual baby names, and you can check out their website for the full list.
