Girl names need help! Not too common but also not too weird names

Hi! We just discovered today that we are going to have a little girl! Me and DH are thinking about a name that is uncommon but not weird, not too childish (for example, we think that isadora and isabella are both too childish, no offense taken though), and not too harsh (ex. Harper). We both love rihanna/rianna, because it's super feminine and uncommon, but since it's a famous singer, we probably won't use it. We like names that feels grown-up but still feminine. Middle name will be Grace. Last name is one syllable and quite common. What do you guys think?

I know a Rihanna that is pronounced rye-Anna and shortened to Rye which is nice. A bit of a slant on the traditional.

If you like Rhianna then how about just Rhian? Or Rhia?
Also, how about;

Agree with Rhiannon!

I had similar criteria for baby names. On my list were

Penelope
Rosalind
Vivienne
Evangeline
Angelina
Beatrice/x
Edith

NotAnotherJaffaCake · 27/01/2019 08:26

Just bear in mind that what you think of as uncommon pre children will also be thought of by loads of other parents and there will be about 3 of them at your baby groups....

I'm yet to meet another child with my little girl's name (it's one from my list). I looked at names.darkgreener.com/ to check how common it was. She's one of 32 in her year of birth!
