Only 5 girls share these names in 2013...
All of these names were given to only 5 girls in 2013 (in the US). I have a habit of sorting through the social security index looking for "normal" names. So, these ones stood out. I guess some I expected more than 5 and some I am suprised were used. I haven't listed the hundreds of kre8tive names (like audreahnnah).

I like:
Adelais
Amandine - I know it means "with almonds", but it's so sweet and soft! I also like Mandaline.
Bellaluna - cheesy, but still sweet.
Calandra -
Carmine
Cecilie
Christmas - yes, I actually like it
Claudine
Clementina
Elmira
Hyacinth
Letitia - prefer Laetitia
Mariposa - but I think this can also be used to describe the, hm, vagina.
Oriane
Sorsha - I used to love the name Sorcha, because I thought it was pr. "sore-sha". I was SO disappointed when I found out that it's pr. SOR-uh-kha, which to me sounds either like the Swedish word for "voles" (sorkar) or someone saying "boys" in the dialect spoken on the island of Gotland (it sounds something like SOR-ka).
Some other comments:
Arla - dairy company here.
Bell - ding dong ding dong.
Catharina - very common here, but more often spelled Katarina, although this spelling is also used.
Christabell - sickly sweet.
Celestial - well, I like the word, but I think Celeste or Celestine would be a better name.
Havanah - gila.
Larue - like naming a child "thestreet".
Legacie - ick, it's not even spelled correctly.
Moxxi - icky.
Posie - I've always thought this sounds so ugly, like "pus".
Rune - this is a male name here.
Seraphim - I love Seraphine, Serafina and Sarafina, but Seraphim is too Biblical.
Sheba - cat food.
Shy - not something I would hope my child would be.
Snowy - horse name.
Viveka - rather common here.

Amandine and Mariposa
Amandine doesn't mean "with almonds", it's a diminutive of Amanda
Mariposa - In Mexico (and maybe other spanish speaking countries but I'm not sure) it's slang aimed at gay men as in f*****.

Ah, Mariposa is "butterfly". I don't know if it is also slang for female bits in some culture (spanish maybe?), but in the Philippines, it's just used as a name for butterfly so that is how I know it. i was surprised there were only 5 last year - but maybe your connecting is the reason why!!
Larue - lol, my aunt is name Larue.
Sheba - cat food? nice. I haven't heard of it, but I always think "Queen of Sheba".

Yes, Sheba is a cat food brand in Sweden at least. It's a bit more "luxuous" than Whiskas and such. But my cat doesn't want ANY cat food. The only food he eats is either cod or chicken. Or maaaybe tuna, if he has to. Can't understand who has spoiled him? ;)
Bless your heart
I wanted to do this (look up names that had only been given to a handful of babies) but I was too lazy.
I like:
Adelais
Amandine - love this. It makes me think of candy. French candy. I do love an OTT French name.
Aravis
Arla
Briony
Christabell
Christmas
Drucilla
Dulcie
Elmira
Elwyn
Eurydice
Francie - I saw a Franci at a drive through the other day, and I never realized how adorable and saucy it is
Hyacinth - aww this was the name my friend and I had decided on for a girl if we went through with our hypothetical "if neither of us has kids by X time" plan.
Ketura
Leisel
Letitia
Lowry
Mairen
Nanette
Oriane
Posie
Seraphim
Sheba - I love this, and also Bathsheba. After I saw "Notes on a Scandal" the name seemed perfectly usable on a white person (a question I was debating)
Shiphrah
Sunset

lol, its my favorite past-time, go figure. Just tell me the year, gender and ranking and I got ya.
My daughter's name came from a list of the 30s (30 girls shared the name) because my husband was 30 when she was born.

This is good to know! And I love what you did with your daughter's name. That's a cool little bit of trivia for it.
