Rare girls names that aren't too 'crazy'

Just as the title says really...looking for an unusual/rare girls name that isn't too unusual if that makes sense!

Only name we like and can agree on is Jessica/Jessie. I quite like names like Bethany, Ebony, Emma and Hannah that I think of as recognisable but aren't that commonly used. DP prefers top 10 names but I would prefer something not as common. DS is Elliott so would like it to sound nice when said with his name.

I have a Saskia aka Sas or Sassy. We're always widely complimented on it. She's the only one in her school and it's a Dutch name. I'm a Claire, so I was always one of 3 others in every class I was ever in!!!

If you want a name that isn't likely to be used in your dd's generation but is easily recognisable then look for names popular in the 70s and 80s as they will be out of sync with the current trends.

Kirsty is a great example. This site only goes back to 1996, but you want to look for names that trend downwards in the last decade or so.
