I initially thought that Cinderella wasn't too odd, but there don't appear to be any new born girls called Cinderalla in 2015.

(The last sheet has a list of all names). So, it's an unusual name.

Other information about most common names. (Some Game of Throne names make it into the list.)

Searching against the Finnish naming index (http://verkkopalvelu.vrk.fi/Nimipalvelu/default.asp?L=3) I see that in the past five years there were:

* Less than five girls called Cinderella.

* Less than five boys called Cinderella.

So rare and unusual, but not unique.

(I find it interesting that there are a non-zero number of women called "Steve", because obviously the first thing you do is search for your own forename/surname!)
