Not Hilary, Not Esme, thanks for the guesses though! It's a very feminine sounding name.
LittleBearPad - I grew up on a farm and I'm a horseriding instructor (have alternated between working past time and SAHM since DD1 was born) so yes, that's why I like the meaning.
MerryMarigold - She was 11 (start of secondary school). I have no idea where she got her name from, but it's very her.. sometimes I do find it weird how we pick the name of someone when they're just seconds old. Reminds me of a book I once read about a species from another planet, and they named their children once they were a few years old and they couldn't understand why we chose ours at birth.
And in terms of the being teased at school, as you said MerryMarigold, it depends the name of your classmates. The most MN unfriendly names/spellings in my DC classes include Kenya, Cassadeey, Jessabell, Indiya, Allexxxis, Bryton, Panzy, Ratta. Personally I (probably because I disliked the popularity of my name) like seeing unusual names, the spellings can be a pain for party invites when they're young though. (Also it seems mostly just the girls in my DCs classes who have unusual names!)
crumpet - Bayla was bar-luh (like Carla with a B), Baylor is bay-luh.
Itsfab - I don't think it's ridiculous. DD1 is old enough to be her mother so it's not like a 2 year old wanting to name her sibling (hence her suggestions for when DD2 was born included many children's TV character names and titles.. she wanted to call her Teletubby 
) and she and her siblings will have to 'put up with' any name we choose for much longer than me and DH will. If they all passionately hated the name Anna, I wouldn't call DC that. And by "ridiculous to discount a name because you know someone else with the name", why do you think it is ridiculous?
PrivatePike - he does, but not passionately.
Legionofboom - DD2 would be insanely jealous of that!! She loves cheer.
