Need an usual/uncommon girl's name

We cannot think of a girls name we like that isn't really popular.

Names we like but for various reason probably won't use are;

Storm
Sloane
Lovella
Quinn

Can anyone else suggest some more unusual girls names along the same lines?

Faraday.
Loveday.
irena.
Amity.
Farrah.

However you’re certainly not going to get many girls named
Sarah Rebecca Melanie. Lindsey. Michelle. Clare. Andrea. Joanne. Sharon. Lisa Amanda in the classroom either these days.

Maybe look through old myths? I really like the name Inara (Hungarian goddess of horsoes and the open plains), have never met ir heard of anyone called that

Eanna is quite rare, too.
