Thats it really! If she was a boy I would have called her Claude/ Casper/ Orlando. All girls names I like are friends daughters so need some I have not heard of!!

Good topic, watching with interest!

Most unusual name I ever knew personally = Qureimah (pronounced Q-Ray-Ma) she got called Q and it really suited her.

Also perhaps:
Amaryllis
Mayaan
Nevenka
Nuala
Austen
Elizabelle
Lillith
Verena
Tulip

Cersie (sir- see)
Love this name & have only ever heard it once 30 years ago , one of the girls in a children's home my aunt worked in.

Meriel and Merryn are really lovely.

How about Delphine?

sashh · 29/06/2013 02:50

Meriel - it means sea sprite and I have only ever met one.

5madthings · 29/06/2013 01:35

My dd is a merryn. The year she was born less than 30 babies in the uk were called merryn (some of them boys as it can be a boys name)

Its stayed the same each year since with ouround 30 or less children being called it. So certainly not popular.

Not sure if you are interested in Irish names, but what about Caoimhe (pronounced Keeva), Blathnaid (Blaanad), or Rionach (reenock)??

Brugmansia · 29/06/2013 01:27

Orlando could be a girl's name too (if based on the book).
I love Aphra, as suggested previously.

LackaDAISYcal · 29/06/2013 01:16

Romily? Io? Elara? Nike?

or something off this list

ChimeForChange · 29/06/2013 01:12

Elira

ScrambledSmegs · 29/06/2013 01:11

Btw Orlanda is very pretty. I know one and it's such a lovely name.

threefeethighandrising · 29/06/2013 01:11

Thanks badtime :)

ScrambledSmegs · 29/06/2013 01:08

Aphra (as in Behn)
Calypso or Callisto - sounds similar, different name/myth

secretsquirrel1 · 29/06/2013 01:00

Dany (sounds like Dainey)
Cuby (sounds like Cube..y)
Tamiko
Derian
