Uncommon but not unusual girls names?

DS has an uncommon boys name, it's a name that you'll have heard but you probably won't know very many if any.

Now we need a girls name. We previously loved Imogen but it seems to be everywhere now.

We quite like short names.

Use Etta!! I wish I had, but DH just wouldn't budge Sad DD now has a very similar name that does suit her, but it's not what I would have chosen if it was solely up to me.

They're all a bit, I dunno, receptionist in her 50's type of names.

I like Effie, Etta, Beatrix, Juliet, if that helps?

Not sure what your style is, but those are all short and sensible names which are now pretty unusual for babies.
