Ariella? Luna? Depends on your idea of exotic really! What kind of names do you like?

I've always liked Savannah and Oceana. Bit off a hippy chick and loved those names since my travelling days. Remind me of sunny days in Asia and Australia. Some may consider it a blessing I haven't popped one out yet, but I like them...

I have heard of a Clementine Jane....which is gorgeous IMO.

I'm thinking of teaming quite a short plain girls name like Jane or Emma, with a longer more exotic one but don't yet have any ideas for the exotic long one! Any suggestions gratefully received?
