Under-used nice names

Hi All,
Would love some suggestions for under-used, nice, names. Not ‘oldies that have come back’ (Esme, Evelyn, Alba, Edith etc…) but those names that when you hear them you say ‘ah that’s a nice name, you don’t hear that often, I’ve never met a ** before’.
Any suggestions welcome! 😊

DD is Juliet and we hear that a lot. I also like Verity, Bryony and Celeste which fit that description

I"m surprised how many times my name has been mentioned as I think it's absolutely horrible.
I like Verity and Jemima.

Mallory. It's my number one choice if we have a girl, but you don't hear it often.
I know a lot of people avoid it or even dislike it because of the meaning (unfortunate, ill-omened). That doesn't bother me, personally.
