Uncommon baby girl names?

Me and my partner are trying for our first baby, we are very much set on a boys name. However we are really struggling with baby girl names. He wants traditional and I want somewhat uncommon so we are sort of trying to find traditional names but with an unusual spelling or something 😂. I'd just want her to be the only one with her name in the class. He loves Amelia and I'm actually considering it but spelt like Emilia, does it look different enough or does it just look illiterate? I think Emilia is the most common name I'd go for (Sorry for any offence caused😳). Please please please suggest some names. We have to start looking now otherwise our child will be 12 still without a name 😂. Thanks for reading ☺️

Emilia Fox - well known actress.

To me, Emilia is just as 'common' (widespread) as Amelia. Both are part of the current popular zeitgeist.

Odette?

I went to school with one (and an Odile, funnily enough, but much prefer the former). She was lovely, and so I have really nice associations of the name.

I wouldn’t say Emilia is uncommon or illiterate-looking - I know a fair few, and its well known to be an Italian name.

Adeline/Adelaide
Marissa
Calliope
Susie (never met a Susie under 40 personally so I’d class that as unusual for a baby)
Mary (traditional and uncommon)
Amabella
Elizabella
Marguerite
Evangeline

Just a random selection of uncommonly used names for you 😄
