Last week, I met an Indian couple who will soon be celebrating the first birthday of their baby. The only problem is that they don't know what to print on the birthday invitation card as they haven't decided a name for their baby yet.

That's because they want a unique name for their baby - a name that is rare but also has some good meaning and origin. The couple has already spent hours on Google hoping to find that most unusual baby name but largely unsuccessful so far.

Well, our friends are not alone. "Baby names" is the most popular search query with the word "baby" in it. And the top search phrase is "unusual baby names" closely followed by "unique baby names".

Interestingly, more people search for names of baby girls than baby boys on the Internet. This is followed by search for "Indian Baby Names" and "Muslims Baby Names."

Once parents find that unique name, the next step is to register a web domain for their baby.
