I'm not sure what counts as unusual but a name I really like but don't often hear is Lyra.

Not odd, but unusual in that I think I have only ever known 1.

Xanthe is my favourite girls name. Love it. It was my choice if I'd had a girl (DP did not agree) but I had a boy and we both agreed on one boys name thank goodness, no agreement on any girls names.

Meredith - but we only had boys (& dh hated it)

Xanthe, Scheherezade and Suki. All vetoed for a) sounding like a Greek party island b) being shortened to Sherry and c) sounding too much like a cat/our other child's name/True Blood.
