Looking for slightly unusual but not too outlandish girl's name

Looking for a girl's name for my 4th (due soon). Want something recognisable and easy to pronounce but not as popular as Chloe, Jessica etc.

Any ideas???

... i like Zelda even though I like girls names that don't end in an 'a'. I make an exception for Zelda.

This list I didn't get to use

Juliet
Phoebe
Annabel
Vivien

Also love Dulcie, Hazel and Zelda, but probably, for me, they would have been more middle names.

i love anya, beautiful name, considered it for dd2.

What about Iris, Nora, Belle, Jean, Olive, Niamh, Aoife, (got my two in there!)

Good luck choosing a name, its not easy.

We have a Maya - I love it, obviously and it seems to be unusual enough that a lot of people think it's pronounced May-er, which surprised me. If it doesn't bother you that people may mispronounce it, that is! Could also spell it Maia, which is pretty, although a friend's daughter gets mispronounced Mia (also a nice name, imo).

Or how about Edie or Matilda (Tilly or Matty are nice shortened versions).
