Traditional names aren't for everyone. Maybe you're a free spirit, or maybe you just don't want your kid to share a name when they start school. Whatever the reason, you don't want to give your baby just any name. Here are some lovely and rare baby names that you might just fall in love with.
並不是每個人都喜歡傳統的名字。可能你擁有自由的靈魂，或就是不希望自己小孩上學第一天就跟別人撞名。不管原因是什麼，你都不會想隨便幫小孩取個名字。以下列舉出一些可愛又少見的寶寶名字，你可能聽了就會愛上囉。
Noe
Noe
The adorable name "Noe" is a win-win. You get the awesome meaning of the more recognized name "Noah," which means "rest" or "comfort," without having to worry about giving your kid a name that everyone else has. Considering that Noah is the number one baby name for boys, the odds of your kid getting constantly mixed up with his classmates is a very real possibility, making Noe a great choice if you love the name Noah.
取「Noe」這個可愛的名字真的是一舉兩得。這名字跟另一個大家比較熟悉的名字「Noah」帶有同樣的意義，意思是「休息」或「舒適」，也不用擔心你幫孩子取了個菜市場名。你想想，Noah 是男寶寶名字排行第一名，取這個名字的話，你的小孩真的很有可能和同學撞名，如果你真的很愛 Noah 這個名字，幫小孩取名為 Noe 會是個很棒的選擇。
Melina
Melina
The origin of this gorgeous name is a bit uncertain, but one sweet explanation is that it comes from the Greek word for "honey." The name hit its peak in the U.S. in 2009, but even then, it only managed to reach number 456 on the list of top baby names for girls. It's a familiar moniker to WWE fans: Melina Perez was a three-time Women's Champion.
這個美麗名字的起源有點不可考，但有一個很可愛的解釋是，這個名字是從希臘文的「蜂蜜」而來的。這個名字在 2009 年刷新自己在美國女寶寶名字排行榜的最高紀錄，但即使如此，其實也才第 456 名。世界摔角娛樂的粉絲們一定對這個名字不陌生：Melina Perez 得了三次女子摔角冠軍。
Niko
Niko
The name "Niko" is used throughout Europe as a variation of the much more well-known name "Nicholas." While it is fairly popular overseas, in the United States, this adorable moniker is pretty rare. As fans of HBO's The Wire know, Niko is also used stateside as a nickname for Nick or Nicholas.
「Niko」是另一個較為人所知的名字「Nicholas」的別稱，在歐洲很常用。雖然這個可愛的名字在海外很受歡迎，但在美國卻非常少見。HBO 影集《火線重案組》的粉絲應該會知道，Niko 在美國會被當成 Nick 或 Nicholas 的小名。
Niko.
Niko。
Sage
Sage
While many might think of this name as a name for girls, "Sage" is becoming increasingly popular as a gender-neutral name. So, there's one huge advantage: Sage works if you're having a boy or a girl. So, if you love it, that works either way. This rare baby name is taken from a sweet herb, commonly used in cooking. But it's also used to describe a wise person.
雖然很多人會覺得「Sage」是女生的名字，但已經漸漸成為受歡迎的中性名字。取這個名字有個很大的好處：不管男生女生都適用。如果你愛這個名字的話，幫兒子或女兒取這個名字都行。這個少見的名字是取自一種烹飪時常會用到的甜香草。不過這個字也可以用來指睿智的人。
Renata
Renata
A popular name in Mexico, Chile, and some European countries, "Renata" is a rarely used name in the United States. Its international flair makes it an intriguing choice for your baby girl. The name comes from a Latin male name "Renatus," which means "born again." Fans of Twilight know the name. She's not in the movies but in the books. Renata is a vampire with mind-control powers.
「Renata」這個名字在墨西哥、智利和一些歐洲國家都很流行，但在美國就比較少見。想為女兒取名字，這個洋溢著異國風情的名字絕對是個吸引人的選擇。Renata 源自拉丁文中的男性名字「Renatus」，意思是「重生」。喜歡《暮光之城》的人一定知道這個名字。她在電影中沒有出現，不過書中有提到。Renata 是擁有控制思想力量的吸血鬼。
Harlow
Harlow
Coming from Old English root words which roughly translate to either "rock hill" or "army hill," "Harlow" has been in use as a last name for centuries. As a given name, it is still pretty rare, but it makes for a strong unisex choice. As an added bonus, the name Harlow evokes the refinement of the iconic actress Jean Harlow, who starred on the silver screen in the 1920s and 1930s.
「Harlow」這個名字來自於古英文單字字根，意思大概能直譯成「石山」或「軍隊山」，好幾個世紀以來，這個名字都被當成姓氏。當成名字的狀況很少見，但卻是個很棒的中性名字。取名叫 Harlow 還有另外一個好處，這名字能讓大家聯想到標誌性女演員 Jean Harlow 的氣質，她在 1920 和 1930 年代活躍於大銀幕。
Alondra
Alondra
This beautiful name means "lark" in Spanish. While Alondra is trending in Chile and Mexico, it is a rare moniker in the United States. It almost broke into the top 100 names for baby girls in the 1990s, but it's since been virtually forgotten outside of the Spanish-speaking world. Just like the song of the lark, this name sounds quite musical and could be a good choice for you if you love to sing or watch your little girl to grow up loving music.
這個美麗的名字在西班牙文中是指「雲雀」。Alondra 這名字在智利和墨西哥很流行，而在美國就比較少見。1990 年代，這個名字差點登上女寶寶名字百大排行榜中，但在那之後，這名字在西語世界之外就幾乎被遺忘了。就如同雲雀的歌聲，這個名字聽起來很有音樂性，如果你喜歡唱歌，或是希望自己的女兒愛上音樂，這名字會是個好選擇。
Meadow
Meadow
The name "Meadow" has not been used as a given name for very long, but its melodic sound makes it a beautiful and unique name choice for a little girl. Perhaps the most popular fictional Meadow is mob boss Tony Soprano's daughter in HBO's groundbreaking series The Sopranos.
「Meadow」這個名字已經很久沒被當成名字了，但因為它唸起來充滿音樂性，小女孩取這個名字的話會很美、很獨特，是很棒的選擇。可能虛構世界中最有名的 Meadow 就是 Tony Soprano 的女兒，Tony Soprano 是 HBO 開創性影集《黑道家族》中的黑道老大 。
All right, you delivered the message. Now let Meadow study.
好了，你講完你要講的了。讓 Meadow 讀書吧。
Darian
Darian
Most likely a variation of the name "Darren," "Darian" has become a name in its own right, if a rarely used one. Not only does it have a distinctive and distinguished sound, the name also works for both boys and girls. But the most famous Darian in the U.S. might be Darian Stewart, a football player currently with the Denver Broncos.
「Darian」很有可能是「Darren」的另一個稱呼，但現在已經變成另一個名字了，雖然比較少用。這名字不僅聽起來很獨特、高貴，也是個男女都適用的名字。但美國最有名的 Darian 應該是 Darian Stewart，現任丹佛野馬隊的美式足球員。
