Unique but acceptable girls names

As the thread title really...

I don't want to go for a name that's really popular at the moment but at the same time, I don't want to stick a target on their back because they have an "out-there" name.

My ideas so far are:
Beatrix
Rain
Luna

Why not take inspiration from your name and call her Willow?

ChaChaChaCh4nges · 12/09/2017 22:03

Stella?

Unique means one of a kind, so you'd have to make something up and I therefore assume it would fall into "out there".

Do you just mean unusual/rarely used?

Beatrix is reasonably popular
Not keen on Rain
Luna is nice

Clementine. Oh how I love that name 😍

Luna is rising in popularity so if it's unique you want, maybe that isn't a good choice.

Zinnia, Coral, Fleur, Pearl, Soleil, Fern, Dawn, Rosalie...Luna and Rain are nature names so would any of those be of a similar vibe to what you're thinking?

Raine is nicer

Luna is ok but a bit Harry Potter.

What about Eden, Willow or Sunny?

What about Honour?

I know two Beatrixes, both get called Bea.

Rain, not keen at all.

Luna. Nice but gets slagged off on mumsnet.
