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 used to go to school with a girl called Arja which I've always thought was lovely.

I love the name Angelica.

A friend of a friend has a little girl called Vesper.

I quite like it, never heard it before (apart from James Bond film!).

Don't know anyone else with this name....I'd be tempted to use if we ever have DD

almapudden · 13/12/2014 09:52

Flavia

bluewisteria · 13/12/2014 10:00

Doesn't Vesper mean wasp in Italian?

ChickenMe · 13/12/2014 11:47

OH vetoed Posy - gutted. I think it's adorable, cool and different. Will now have to save it for a future cat.

I'm liking the less common flower names-Camelia, Tansy, Azalea.

The Romanians have some fascinating names-Luminita (little light), Georgeta, Nicoleta, Raluca..

I also think the Spanish do great names-Luz, Marisol, Immaculada, Graciela...

I love Allegra.
