We have 4 tallulahs in our school and 1 blossom, and someone with a sibling called blossom - I don't think you are looking for very unusual names. I would say try and find a name that you love regardless of it being apparently unusual or not. You won't know what the other girls at school will be called and how the trends will change in the next 5 years.
When I named my son I gave him a name that wasn't used much. I chose it because I loved it, not because I wanted something unique. Fast forward a few years and it's one of the most popular names in the U.K lol. You can't tell.

I love the name Tallulah.

Others I would put in a similar bracket would be

Penelope
Heidi
Daisy
Primrose
Florence
Phoebe
Tilly
Tiggy

How about Della? Short for Delores

Rosalie is a lovely name!

Can’t get excited about Blossom, I’m afraid - sounds like a pony.

I met a Tiger Lily at a baby group and immediately judged the fuck out of her mother

Does anyone else feel like some of the double-barrelled suggestions sound like the episode of Father Ted where Mrs Doyle is trying to guess the priest’s name?

FluffyMcCloud · 05/01/2019 23:41

I know girls with all those names - a 6yr old Blossom, 11yr old Tallulah, 17yr old Atlanta - and I know two girls called Dolly, both aged 8.

I’m not so keen on Dolly (cute as a nickname tho) but love the other 3!

MrsFoxPlus4 · 05/01/2019 23:36

Oh and my cousin named her daughter Sunny Blythe. We all thought she was a bit OOT but baby sunny is adorable!

MrsFoxPlus4 · 05/01/2019 23:33

My favourite you’ve posted is Adya, I really like Primrose as a floral name.

YourWinter · 05/01/2019 23:25

ETA Blossom and Dolly really were working Shire horses on the farm near my primary school, along with Bonnie and Billy, and a group of us little girls in the early 1960s used to give them apples. Happy days.

YourWinter · 05/01/2019 23:19

You don't NEED to give your child an unusual name and your child doesn't need a lifetime of embarrassment over it.

Blossom and Dolly are names for cows and carthorses.

Geography999 · 05/01/2019 23:09

I’ve got a Blossom - she is 10.

Jacinth, another name for Hyacinth, also a gem stone.

TheLovelyOtherDinosaur · 05/01/2019 22:15

Astoria Snow is lovely. Maybe Stori for short.
Lani (pronounced Larney) is Hawaiian for heaven. I know a beautiful little girl called this.

Mickayla Mae has a nice ring it.

Twillow · 05/01/2019 21:14

I like Monroe. Can't think of another name that goes well with it though.
I know someone gave you a load of Rupaul's drag stars' names Grin one of which is Adore which I love as a girls name!
I knew a Treasure.
Do you really want to be calling out several long names in the park? Maybe a shorter one on its own wouldn't be so bad
