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.

Hard to say without knowing what her last name is.
Am guessing parents of Fanny do not live UK or US 😘
I have no suggestions. Found it impossible when trying to think of a name for my puppy back in the day. Her pedigree name was Mlembe Tatu & breeders called her Honey. I went with Tatu in the end (3 in Swahili - she was a basenji). Honey was too 'ordinary' for such a special dog.

There are two Kaya’s in my child’s school and it’s tiny!

Mabel, Rowan, Nico, Edie, Olive, Cora, Juno. Also Dorothy and Winifred- possibly a bit old fashioned for your taste but I like Dot/Dotty and Freddie as NNs.
