My name is Lexi DeMego and I'm expecting a baby girl! My husband and I like names that are simple, but not too common? We really like Chelsea, Brooklyn, Audrey, MacKenzie, and Leah. Do you think these are too common? If so, could you suggest some names?

These are lovely names. None of them are in the top 10, so none of them are extremely common. Audrey, Leah, Brooklyn, and MacKenzie are all in the top 100 and Chelsea isn't even in the top 300. If you are worried about these names being too common here are some that aren't as popular.

In the US...

 

Brooklyn is ranked 31, add in various spellings, and this one is a bit too common.

Leah is ranked 36 (about 1 in 333 female births)

Audrey isn't far behind at 37.

And Mackenzie is ranked at 73, but there are numerous spellings to factor in.

 

Chelsea is ranked 305 and has been falling in popularity over the past 15 years.

 

By looking solely at popularity, Chelsea is your best bet for an uncommon name.  Other names you may like...
