You haven't said what types of names you like, bit these names were only used three times for girls in 2019 so all are unusual. One might be what you're looking for. Allen Amily Bridgey Doreen Ksenija Moyinoluwa Nevaeh-Marie Rejoice Ruqia Zaakirah

Heads up OP - a lot of these from PP are far from unusual.

Also might be worth clarifying what you mean by unusual. Do you mean 'out there', bold, and almost weird? Or do you mean uncommon? If that case you might want to think about how uncommon is uncommon enough. And note that uncommon names can be very 'normal', Shelia for example is quite rare these days.
