Rare girls names that aren't too 'crazy'

Just as the title says really...looking for an unusual/rare girls name that isn't too unusual if that makes sense!

Only name we like and can agree on is Jessica/Jessie. I quite like names like Bethany, Ebony, Emma and Hannah that I think of as recognisable but aren't that commonly used. DP prefers top 10 names but I would prefer something not as common. DS is Elliott so would like it to sound nice when said with his name.

I have recently had a little girl and named her Pearl 😊

My friend named her little girl Rosali

Bethany, Emma, Hannah and Jessica are fairly mainstream TBH.

Only Ebony sounds unusual/rare to me.

If you like Jessie, what about Jessany? Beautiful name and very underused.

Maybe look at numbers 75-100 in the name 'charts' ?
