Unique baby girl names please

Hi lovely’s, can you help me with a baby girl names please?

We are having a girl. We already have a girl named Aspen so no more place names and no L names because we don’t like alliteration with our last name which is Lane.

For girls names we currently like Senna (but we just found out it’s a laxative… it was our top name), Alba (hubby doesn’t like it) Kova ( too close to Covid…) so stronger, unique girls names. Nothing pretty or long - two syllables if possible.

Thank you, I would appreciate some ideas

Kyomi. I love it! Kyomi Lane has a nice ring about it.

Sheena if you like Senna? Haven't met one recently.

Sianna? The one I know is Hindu but the name is also a Celtic goddess associated with Diana.

Nico is great for a girl - someone suggested it above and I love it.

Love Veda too. Nina isn't unusual but sounds lovely with your surname. I also like Cece and Joni.

@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander oh no problem for not checking the name stats - it's only geeks like me that love this stuff and like looking it up! I wouldn't expect others to do it.
I also only know 1 Sienna but I'm guessing someone looking for an unusual name is going to be looking outside the top 100
I think that's probably why Senna is a bad idea as it'll be misheard for Sienna all the time and won't feel very unusual

How about Pearl or Aubrey or Liberty

Roxanna nickname Roxy?

@FluffyEggsontoast sorry for not checking the name charts Shock. I only know 1 sienna and she's 15 so I didn't realise it had become so popular. Both my sons have top 100 names, one is top 5. We've still only ever met a couple of children with the same name Confused
No such thing as a unique name anyway, unless you make it up yourself.

Palavah · 22/09/2020 08:25

None of these names are unique. If you want a uniqie name you'll have to invent one.

Do you perhaps want a very unusual name?

@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander yes sienna is nice but am guessing it's way too high in the charts for OP as she wants an unusual name, it's top 100, about number 25

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 22/09/2020 08:20

How about Sienna which is close to Senna without being a laxative
