Not every family looks for a classic baby name or names their baby after a beloved relative. In this year's annual baby-naming survey of thousands of BabyCenter parents and expectant parents, we found that 43 percent chose – or are hunting for – a unique or unusual name.

Here are some of the most unusual, creative names given to babies in 2013.

Note: Our data comes from more than half a million parents who shared their baby's name with us in 2013. Each of the unusual names below was given to at least three children – so it's not a fluke!
