Using data obtained from the Office of National Statistics, Mumsnet has identified the rarest boy and girl names in the UK right now. The below names (10 for girls and 10 for boys) were registered as little as three times last year, Harper’s Bazaar UK reports – but we have to say, some of them are very pretty (others, not so much…).

Without any further ado, the 10 least common girls’ names:

1/ Adalie

2/ Agape
