I don't feel like any girls' names are "It"

Luckily I have until the end of May. :o But I like to have my ducks in a row.

Names I like, but don't seem right:
Caroline
Frances
Louisa
Josephine
Georgia/Georgiana

I like Anna but feel like it's too...plain, maybe? And anyway I'd like to avoid the initials A, M, and S. I liked Philippa/Pippa for a long time but I think everyone would say "Oh like Middleton..." now. :(

Names that are out due to family members/close friends:

Emma
Emily
Kate
Jane
Claire
Vanessa
Ella/any "El" name really
Rebecca
Anne
Hannah
Gabriella
Amelia
Grace
Charlotte
Constance
Samantha (also, I have a Samuel)

I want something recognizable as a name but not something you hear every day! Help, Mumsnetters, help! :)

I really love Susannah and it would be a lovely way to honor my MIL who is Suzanne. But I don't like Sam and Susannah together...I'm weird about the same initials. Blush

Yes Blue, no Scarlett. Or Rusty, Amber, Gray, Sienna... or Shittah, as Glaikit has suggested before. :o
