Unique but acceptable girls names

As the thread title really...

I don't want to go for a name that's really popular at the moment but at the same time, I don't want to stick a target on their back because they have an "out-there" name.

My ideas so far are:
Beatrix
Rain
Luna

Honor? Siobhan albeit a bit Irish for you maybe. Fleur is also really rare and such a gem although a marmite name on here!

Unique names aren't really acceptable?

Not on here they're not. If you choose a name for your child that doesn't adhere to the prevailing norm, then you are a chav. Apparently.

How about
Queenie
Missy
Biba
Bathsheba

Depends. Prevailing MN wisdom seems to be - Unusual classic name = fine. Unusual modern name = chav.
I love Dina as someone mentioned up thread, and also like Cara. Celeste doesn't seem as popular as I feel it should be.

You do know that "unique" means the one and only, don't you? Not just a wee bit exotic and unusual? None of the suggestions people have given are unique - to get a unique name you'd have to do for something like fguijfjsahdhhg-mae, pronounced Lily.
