Most beautiful, unique girl's name you know?

[EricaJ28]

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 haven't met a Mary under 70.

Nimue was a character in Arthurian legend - the Lady of the Lake.

Juliana?

Or Eliana?

Some of my favourites:

Anya
Octavia
Seraphina
Anastasia
Arianna

Tanith - unusual but not too poncey.

I love Galena thinks it means healing in Greek

Romy
Saskia
Danika
Daria
Lisette
Amara
Mignonne (mee-nyon)
Lupita
Lordes (like madonna's daughter)
Skyler
Marilena
Donatella
Franka
Melissa
Daphne
Seine (like the river)
Sienna
Arushka
Mahalia
Naomi
Sandrine

Ooh, Turquoise I know a little Vesper, maybe we know the same one!

Galena is a lead-bearing ore- not sure that it strikes the most feminine note.

Someone mentioned Silke earlier on the thread - I used to teach in a school which had 2 girls called Silke in the same class- never heard of it anywhere else ever. I wouldn't bother trying to be unique- just go for a name you really love.

Would Callista fit your criteria? Or Elenya ?

Bonanza- really ????

Oooh I forgot, how about Rumi? Like the poet? I love that name! Beautiful and very unique

How about:

• Fushia
• Dominika
• Arianwyn
• briseis

Nyree
Merle
Manon
Celeste
Tess
Mariella
Seraphine/a
Aphra
Petra

I know this thread is already packed with suggestions but I'll throw mine in.
Avicen.
Gorgeous and I've only ever known one girl called it (and googling it seems to confirm its rarity).

Floriana
Cosima
Theodora
Casimira
Rosanna

I met an Ardith recently - only time I have ever encountered the name. Thought it was lovely.

Euphemia. Kezia. Zilla. Sorayah.

Zepherina
Marchella
Araminta
Elepheba (pronounced El fa ba) Yes, I saw Wicked last weekend and loved this name!)

I know a Nokomis.
She is the only one I've ever heard of.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokomis

Little girls i have recently met/heard of include Astrid, Isis, Ocean, Igraine and Cordelia

I really like Calliandra (it's a flower) and I like Callie for short, never heard of it as a name but DH and I are very grey accountants so even if we have a DD we'll never have the guts to go for it

Columbine
Marisa
Georgiana
Elfrida
Clarissa
Alessandra
Sidonia
Romola
Ferelith
Fenella
Oenone
Bryony
Lucinda
Belinda
Venetia

I've got an Adelina. It's an E European name but not that common there either. It has the advantage of being easy to pronounce/spell but unusual and people always comment how pretty it is.

Evangeline

Bronagh - means sorrowful, but it's a pretty name, and ends in 'ah'.

Neela

I once read that the best start in life a girl can get is having a name ending in 'a' because on the whole they are classy and feminine:
Helena
Anastasia
Rosa
Georgina
Annabella
Estella
