Baby girl names that will go with sister Dakota

Husband and I are struggling to find a baby girls name that we like as much as our daughters name...
Our first daughters name is Dakota, I feel like it's quite a cool sounding name and is a bit different!
We don't know what we're having yet and have plenty of boy names but no girl names... If it's another girl we would love her to have a similar kind of name, a bit different and not too popular.
Any suggestions please?😀

I have a friend who has two daughters: Dakota and Cheyenne

Dakota is great, it most definitely is a cool sounding name and is a bit different!

Some suggestions of names that might be go well with Dakota. These are slightly more obscure place names (as in not immediately obvious place names - apart from Georgia which might be a little too on the nose with Dakota):
Aurora
Bailey
Bethany
Charlotte
Florence
Georgia
Helena
Lydia
Madison
Marina
Peyton
Savannah
Victoria

First name that jumped into my head was Carolina but I love the suggestion of Avery

BiBabbles · 14/05/2021 23:28

I know several little Dakotas, but most of them are American where it's a more common unisex name in some communities.

Trying to think in a similar vein/those I've known who used that name also liked or are in the bit different:
Avery
Amery
Abeni / Abilene
Audra
Aubrey
Bethia
Chryssa
Harlyn
Kiplyn/Kippi
Midian/Middy
Reverie
Shae/Shaelyn/Shaely/Shaena/Shaela

Dakota is such a pretty name! I think names that would work well with it would be:

Dakota & Briar
Dakota & Anaïs
Dakota & Frances
Dakota & Lilian
Dakota & Adelaide
Dakota & Adeline
Dakota & Noelle
Dakota & Lana
Dakota & Hazel
