What's the most unusual name?

Just that really our LIttle girl has a really unusual name, so much so you would struggle to find someone else with the name. I also have an unusual name and would like something completely different for our new addition who too is a girl.
What's the most unusual girls name you have heard or can suggest?

I know two Talia's, one is from a Jewish family one is half Lebanese they both have long long dark hair and are stunning! I'd have to know my dd would have that 'look' otherwise it would be 'wrong' to me!

I know a Talia, a Zinnia, a Persephone and a couple of Lylas. Came across a Sequoia once. Also know a very beautiful Hepzibah. DS has a friend called Ocean and DD is friends with an Oceania.
How do you pronounce Antigone? Is it Ant-ig-on-ee?
