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!

If I had a daughter I would love to call her Talitha or Ariadne. My Nanny was called Elvina and I have never met or heard of another of those.Valerian is the name of a flower and quite unusual.

I also love Boccaccio's Famous Women as a source of unusual names with good pedigrees. DD's name is on the list.

Oh yes and once knew a French woman whose daughter was called Oceane.

Slightly ethereal, gorgeous name.

Beautiful name but don't think it'd work quite as well in an English speaking environment!

I know a girl with a middle name 'Ocean' and always thought it was a bit weird!

Thank you! Some really beautiful names in there. I am surprised at how many people I know who are called some of them and it is good to know some of you like some of the ones we had shortlisted for middle names (although won't use as they are perhaps not quite right for us) (Thalia/Talia, Valentina, Iona, Florence, Laetitia among others).

HollyBDenum, Boccacio's Famous Women is an absolute gold mine. Fantastic list. Iole I love, but interesting it is another form of Violet!

Silke is definitely a contender (which appears to have Dutch connections in line with Aya/Aja and Ilse which we were also looking at). Verona is beautiful (although I am sure it is trending strongly alongside Vera and other V names) but that may not deter us as it is lovely. Jolie also definitely in contention for a middle name. Thank you again!

Amira

I know one, but that keen on her, but love her name.

Sula
Kesta
Leilani
Lara

I expect you know this already, but Silke (Zil-kuh) is a short form of Cecilia. It is quite well-known in Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.
