In search of unusual, sweet girl name

So here I am, after debating all sorts of names with DH, which one would it be?

We want an unusual, but by that we mean a name that is not often used like Freya or Olivia.

Matilde (We both like it, it is Spanish like DH, but is it too common?)
Irene (I like only the Spanish pronunciation, but not the English)

And then we are stuck and cannot think of anything else as we do not agree on anything else...

Any suggestions, appreciated.
We love Spanish names due to DH roots, but open to any suggestions...

I went to school with an Irene whose mum was Greek, her name was pronounced eye-ree-nee. If anyone questioned it "it's pronounced the Greek way because my mum is Greek" was the end of it.

So if you want to go with Irene with the Spanish pronunciation then do.
