Really stuck for a pretty but unusual girl name

Hiya

I'm looking for a relatively unusual or not very common little girl name. I'd prefer a name that isn't really common but it doesn't need to be mega unique.

I've always liked

Eliza (but it's too popular for me now)
sienna (but my neighbour just used it)
Zola (husband doesn't like it enough)

I like names that are longer than 3 letters generally and anything that sounds traditionally pretty if that makes sense like Danielle or Isabelle but again.. would prefer something less common.

Surname is brown.

Any ideas?

Agatha- urethra?
Really, you’d name a child after the orifice you wee from 😂

Isn't Urethra Franklin a famous singer?

If your surname is short, try spicing it up with a longer forename.
A good example would be Sherilyn Fenn.

Plus the name Brown is a bit dull (sorry!) so try to give your little girl a name that's a bit more "guilded" or feminine such as Annalisa or Rosalinda.

Agatha you're thinking of Aretha Franklin Grin Makes me laugh because when I was a child I pronounced it urethra!

I like the name Astrid.

@Jenala Isn't Astrid a car?

Thank you so much for all your suggestions a few I really like! I like the suggestion of a long name because my surname brown is short and a bit boring. Maybe longer names like arabella my problem is my closest friend's little girl is called Aurora and it's too similar otherwise that would be my pick. (I know it's not really similar I just couldn't pick it) x
