unusual baby girls names
unusual meaning outside the top 50 preferrably out of top 100 either now or in the past eg not rachel or rebecca ,sara
unusual but not weird eg not mehitabel, jezebel
can't use naomi hannah jemima tabitha lydia or bethany as already used by close family members

What about Abra?
It's a while since I read the bible so not 100% sure it is in there but it is the female version of Abraham and apparently King Soloman knew an Abra.

There was a couple called Prisca and Aquilla - not sure which was which, but Aquilla is nice?

Martha's great, but surely in the top 50 by now? It's v popular I think these days.
