Unusual but not weird pretty girl names PLEASE!

[Thisistheway]

Help me! Totally stuck on a name for our baby (we know she's a girl).

I'd like something unusual but not odd. Love pretty names for girls ending with a 'y' sound. If Lily or Millie were unusual names that's the kind of thing we'd go for.

We also have greek relatives so could use a Greek name but also no ideas here. Love flower names as well but can't find any unusual ones.

Can't have a 'r' sound though - i can say my 'rs' but never comfortable with them. So e.g. 'raphaela' would be out or 'primose' (not that I like primrose anyway but YKWIM).

If you're not already fed up of my list of requirements, can you please please give me some ideas?! Xxxxxxx

Chloe

Ooh Lila's on the list as well now.

Sadly I know a Zoe, Lottie and a Josephine

Phoebe

Xanthe is fab. It does mean golden-haired though - which is why we didn't use it as our DD was very dark and still is. DS however would make a wonderful Xanthe

where I grew up there was a Phoebe whose dad was Greek

it was a very unusual name then (50s)

Thalia
Louisa
Helena
Persephone (I know it has an R, but so many shortenings! Poppy, Eppie, Seffie...)

Mahalia

Estelle

Not a y ending I know, but I love the name :)

Dolly?

Also:

Thisbe
Calliope (NN Callie, Calla)
Sylvia/Sylvie
Jocasta

oooh, Calliope made me think of Cassandra, which is lovely - but then I remembered the R problem

Athena and Artemis are both nice - I love Arty as a nickname. Or Ariadne and Ari.

Love Delphi as well, which is more of a place than a name, but if it works for Florence Nightingale it could work for your daughter!

Lucy/Lucinda

Lylee

Leonie is lovely too.

Ottilie

Clementine

Oriele

Persephone (pronounced Purseffohnee)

Myrtle nn Tilly

Nike (Greek goddess osf Victory)...

no seriously, I really like Ines, which does have a Greek connection as it's "the French and Spanish version of the Latinized form of the Greek name ?Αγνη (Hagne), derived from Greek ?αγνος (hagnos) meaning "chaste". Saint Agnes was a virgin martyred during the persecutions of the Roman emperor Diocletian. The name became associated with Latin agnus "lamb", resulting in the saint's frequent depiction with a lamb by her side. Due to her renown, the name became common in Christian Europe, being especially popular in England in the Middle Ages." according to this website:

or what about Kalista = most beautiful in Greek, can be shortened to Kallie/Kali, etc...

Didn't read all the thread, so sorry if repeating:

Daphne
Phoebe
Dorothy
Melody

Not really unusual, but not really common!

Mandy
Lettie (short for Leticia)

Penny

Abigail - Abbey
