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!

I was not actually CheeseBuster- I watched maybe one or two episodes. The name stuck with me though. Smile

I knew a Jolie. She was not the nicest girl, but I will say she had an unusual name, I have never since come across another! (Perhaps just as well Xmas Grin)
