Really stuck for a pretty but unusual girl name

Hiya

I'm looking for a relatively unusual or not very common little girl name. I'd prefer a name that isn't really common but it doesn't need to be mega unique.

I've always liked

Eliza (but it's too popular for me now)
sienna (but my neighbour just used it)
Zola (husband doesn't like it enough)

I like names that are longer than 3 letters generally and anything that sounds traditionally pretty if that makes sense like Danielle or Isabelle but again.. would prefer something less common.

Surname is brown.

Any ideas?

Kalysta or Mallory

Try saying it out loud I think it sounds quite nice, Kalysta Brown or Mallory Brown

Xanthe - loved it but DH hated it. I think it's so pretty and definitely unusual.

sugarpiehoneyeye it's been a favourite of mine since I was a teenager as it's the name of the heroine in an old Georgette Heyer novel 'These Old Shades' Smile

agatha Are you my brother? DD1 was going to be called Astrid. He vetoed that. Next up was Brooke. He told me to stop and that he was naming his nieces and nephews. Our last name starts with a J. He told me that I went from wanting to call his niece Ass to giving her the initials BJ. My first of many parenting fails Blush

I’ve always liked the name Rowan. Like the rowan tree. Ann for short.
