Yeah, I don't feel like listing all the word names this time. However, I did come across quite a few doing my "Rare but Real" lists, and decided they'd be a pretty neat list of their own.
So, here are all the rarest word-names used in 2019. :)
Point of note: I initially was going to do all the word names given to 10 kids/gender or fewer, because how many could that possibly be? Yeah, it was over 900 potential word names. Per gender. So, I went back to my old default of 5 kids.
Also, I have removed jargon and archaic words, because I doubt parents were thinking "storage nook" for Ambry or "dry goods packaging" for Robbin. I have also left off non-English names that just happen to be spelled like English words, as well as (most) occupational surnames.
