Im really stuck on girls names, theres not a single name me and my partner can agree on. I want something unusual but something really pretty and girly. Whats the most unusual names you've heard?

My daughter is called Tora, it's an old Norse name.

Tora is a great name, I really like it.

Aurora? Very common round here.

D’Mari & Elfie are the most unusual ones I know.

I went to school with a Corinna, a Britannia, a Jocasta and a Richenda, don't hear of many of them. I used to smirk at Britannia because that was my dog's proper name (she was a show dog).

Recently saw on Facebook a baby girl Anozira (Arizona spelled backwards) being announced. It sounds like an antihistamine.

@CityDweller

I once met a baby girl called Five. No idea what the story was there!

I also know an (adult) Adeline, which I think is a nice, unusual name.

Adeline (and many other spellings) is currently a really popular name in the US.
