Below the Top 1000, Part 33 (Girls)

Hello!  I hope you’re having a good Saturday.

Before I get into the main content of this post, I have an announcement: the Well-Informed Namer is now on Twitter!  If you’d like to follow me, the handle is @W_I_Namer.

And now, the names!  Today’s post includes some of the very unusual names given to only 12 or 13 girls in the U.S. in 2015, according to publicly-available data from the Social Security Administration.  The new 2016 data isn’t due out until May, we’re still discussing 2015 for now.
