Exotic Baby Names for Girls and Boys - See List Below

How on earth can somebody use baby name popularity data to come up with a list of exotic baby names? Well we looked up the word exotic and found that it means something is from another part of the world or foreign, and it can also mean that something is intriguingly different or strange. To capture this mathematically with our baby name popularity distribution analysis, we did a little tap dance and some arm waiving and came up with the approach described below.

To get our list of exotic baby we excluded all the names that ever made it into top 1000 most popular baby names lists from 1900 to 2000. Then we looked at the lists for the top most popular baby names in the years 2001, 2002, and 2003 and found all the new names that were introduced (i.e. "foreign" names). Then we sorted all those new names based on how they ranked in 2003 (i.e. found the ones that were intriguing). Viola, we get the bnbg.net list of exotic baby names.

Note: I imagine that many of these names will prove to be trendy and quickly lose popularity.
Note: We used a similar, yet more long term, approach to create a list of alternative baby names.
