Most beautiful, unique girl's name you know?

Please help! Still on the hunt for a girls name and I love ones that are incredibly unique (perhaps only heard once or twice).

Would love your best suggestions! Needs to be incredibly feminine as the surname is very traditional English, long, clunky.

Names ending in 'A' sounds work well. Names with 'ella' sounds don't (So Aurelia, while I love it, won't work and is becoming too popular).

Names like Arietta, Aya, Elka, Allegra? I'm just not sure we love them enough. What is the most beautiful, unique girls name you have heard?

Middle name not settled, but will probably be something more well known (Juliette, Francesca, Cara, Amelie). Thanks for your help!

^Capucine and Miette (both names suit what you're after I think).

Other options I had were
Seraphina
Appoline
CambriaLavinia, Ophelie, Luella, Mauve, Etienne, Zola^

Capucine is nice, it's a recognised French name meaning Nasturtium. Apolline is usually spelled with one P and two Ls. Miette (crumb), Mauve (purple), Etienne (boy's name) and Zola (Budd notwithstanding) are honestly terrible, please please don't do it to the poor child.

Lilith is Frasier's wife/ex-wife in the tv series

Named after the first Lilith in the Bible, Adam's wife before Eve. A good feminist choice.

Let's hope the op is no longer struggling!

I imagine the op opening the thread a year later... I never did get round to naming her after all!

I think Selena is beautiful. Very elegant and feminine.
