I need an unusual, quirky, pretty, girl’s name, and quick.

Baby girl due very soon. I already have 2 sons and choosing a girl’s name is so much harder!

I like more modern names mostly (with the exception of names like Hazel and Cassia) not a huge fan of say Eleanor for example.
Something that’s unusual, a bit quirky and has personality but is also pretty. I mean don’t we all want that? (For ex one of my friends has a Nova which I’ve always quite liked but not a fan of other astrological names) Don’t want anything too ridiculous though. I imagine myself saying to a teacher ‘hi my name is X’ and think whether I’d like saying that or not!

Please help! I’ll take any suggestions. Nothing is stupid, just help a struggling, overly fussy with names, mum. There are plenty of names I like but none that I just think yes, that’s my baby’s name.

Winner gets a mars bar. Unless you’re vegan. Okay I’ll stop talking now - I clearly need to go to bed.

@DJS88 I think we’ve got the same taste! :)

I do love Savannah, that’s on the list. I’ll probably start a new thread soon with my shortlist! Thanks for all your help, feel free to suggest more def not done yet!

I have an Autumn, although since having her I also like Winter-Willow.

What about one of those names like "Tree" only not, if that makes sense?!

Prairie
Meadow
Forest
Cherry
Uh... Plant? Bush? Ok, this was a rubbish idea!

@Whoops75 I totally agree about the 5 name limit! My brain struggles to take in names when they're in a long list so I try to only post a few at a time. I think that's what makes baby name searches on websites so difficult!

I'm sure my fave names for this criteria have been mentioned already but...

Cleo
Kaia
Story
Asha
Raya

@bellainthemiddle I thought Cherry was the most lovely name as a teen. Reminds me of the girl in The Outsiders.
