Unusual but not wacky Girls names

Trying to think of some more girls names to add to my list as currently DP and I only agree on two names (Cleo and Jemima). For my first DD I feel as though I was quite successful in finding a name that was uncommon but not outlandish, but struggling more for this baby. Basically I don’t want anything where there’s going to be 5 of them in the class with the same name. Any ideas?

Random but… Fiona? It’s unusual as in not used a lot and not wacky?

Jemima doesn't go down well in the US because there is a brand of pancake syrup (and other products) called Aunt Jemima's that used to feature what was clearly a stereotypical enslaved black woman, her hair tied up in a headscarf and a wide grin which showed her big teeth. Ads for Aunt Jemima products featured stereotypical African American non-standard English and an attitude of happy servitude from the heyday of the myth of the Lost Cause.

Cleo is a gorgeous name.

Jemima sounds a bit snotty and whiny.
