Each week I have been posting about some of the names below the top 1000; that is, rare names given to actual babies in the U.S. in 2015. Just because they’re rare doesn’t mean they aren’t trendy; many of these names are rising in usage and some may enter (or reenter) the top 1000 within a few years. Others have become outdated and suffer a long decline.
This week’s post regards the girls’ names in the range of 150-199 uses. Not all names from that range are included here; this is simply a selection.

What do you think of these names?
Love a lot of the names on this list! I’ve never heard Essence used as a name before; I like it. And Tesla! Just yesterday I was thinking what a great name that would be. Cool and different, plus Nikola Tesla makes a worthy namesake.
