Pretty, cool & unusual girls' names

[MalibuStacy]

We have just found out that our third (and final) attempt at IVF was successful and that we are having a girl. Although I've had years to think of names, I am completely out of inspiration at the moment. Also, we live overseas so are not familiar with the trends in the UK.

I would really appreciate some suggestions. I am looking for a pretty name, but one that is also cool. And not in the Top 100.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Elka

I think it rocks!

Yeah, I like that. Where's it from?

Dunno where it's from, my friend here (in Oz) has a daughter named Elka, and another one called Scarlett. Both groovy names IMO.

Hero

Also like Hero. Really cool. Thanks.

Elke (pronounced Elka) is German...

Betony
Ottilie

Eleri
Haf

Probably more unusual overseas than they are here :)

Congratulations.

Susannah, Rosalind, Verity.

Ramona, love this.

I like Verity, very much.

Clemency
Lorelai

Congratulations! :)

Thanks for the congrats. I have waited for this for 20 years. You'd think I'd have a bloody name sorted by now, wouldn't you?

No name suggestions (though I love Elka) but just couldn't read this without saying a heartfelt congrats!

Ooooo hang on what about Juno? I love that name but have a feeling it would never be countenanced by DH...

Elkaholic.

My daughters name is quenelle, I think it really pretty and unusual

Congratulations, what lovely news for a Monday morning!

I love Elka, and we also considered Elke which is quite similar.

Congratulations

Esme? Cecily? Clara?

I also love Verity.

Yes sorry, CONGRATULATIONS! That's amazing, you must be so thrilled.

Xanthe, Xan for short.

Congratulations...
