Just that really our LIttle girl has a really unusual name, so much so you would struggle to find someone else with the name. I also have an unusual name and would like something completely different for our new addition who too is a girl.
What's the most unusual girls name you have heard or can suggest?

Ignoring the 'trying too hard' vibe, which IMHO is a real danger:

Vibeke (say Viveka) German, but not common over here

Marsaili (the Scottish gaelic for Marjorie)

Mariota (medieval)

Eluned (say Elinnet)

Rosmerta (Celtic goddess)

There are others, but I think if you want to be really unique (why?) then that's got to be up to you ...

I know a lovely woman named Amna. She is Indian so it may be more common there but I've never met another and I think it's a gorgeous name

Do you mean unusual-classic or unusual-completely made up?
