What sort of names do you like? Else it’s a little broad..

Yes, setting aside the fact something can't be "slightly unique" - it is either the only one or it isn't - we need a bit of a steer as to what sorts of names you do, or don't like.

I mean if you called her Barbara, she'd probably be the only one in her friendship group, but that's not to say the world is yet quite ready for Barbara to make a come back.

My current favorite uncommon girl names are Zelda, Selma, Aphra and Juno. For me, these are uncommon and not weird but for someone else they may be too out there.

Dovey. I read about a remarkable woman named Dovey Roundtree and I've always remembered her name.

Echo previous poster that something is or isn't unique. You probably want names that are unusual but not strange.

What kind of names do you like? Do you like long names, short names, flower/nature names, vintage names etc.

Do you have any family names that you could use as a middle name?

Unusual could be anything really.

When my son was born over 14 years ago his name (Gabriel) was unusual/unique where we lived

These are the more unusual but still fairly normal names I've seen recently.

Boudicca/Boadicea
Dolcie
Xanthia
Coraline
