Stuck on names for our second baby

Hi all,

I have a beautiful dd aged 3, Her name is Ocean. We always wanted a name that was slightly different and unique- She has the beautiful bright blue eyes to match the name.
I am pregnant with my second child, Its too early to tell the sex yet, However I'm stuck on unique names for the second baby.
Can anyone recommend any lovely unique name choices?

I'd avoid another water name but go for something earthy....I love Fearne/Fern or Clover for a girl, maybe Heath for a boy, something of that ilk.

Oh I knew an Ocean. She would be mid 30s now. Sky?

Unique means one of a kind

All names are going to be used by someone else, so the can only be unusual (or whatever) not unique

But anyway - something like Meadow?

Mediterranean?

I think you need something else unusual or nature-y. I used to have a colleague who had a little girl called Ocean. She also had a little boy - called William. Both lovely names individually but they just seemed like such a mismatch to me. They'll be be young adults now with their own identities though so I suppose the matchy thing isn't the be all and end all. It only matters for the first 18 years.

[You can be too matchy though. I'm adding this after writing my list in which I initially unthinkingly included Bay, Haven, India and Sydney. Your daughters would sound like a summer holiday together!]

How about ...
Athena, Artemis, Amberley, Ariana, Amaya, Aspen, Aven, Autumn, Avery, August, Asher, Albie, Atlas
Bronte, Briar, Blossom, Bodhi, Baird
Cassidy, Calliope, Calista, Crystal, Cherry, Clementine, Cosmo, Caspian, Cassian, Caspar, Colby
Dulcie, Devon, Delphi, Demelza, Diego, Darius, Denzil, Dustin
Everly, Ember, Echo, Eden, Elowen, Elora, Evadne, Ellis, Evan, Enzo
Fern, Flavia, Fallon, Faye, Flynn, Fitch, Ferdi
Giselle, Genesis, Guinevere, Gabriel, Gaius
Hazel, Honey, Harmony, Harper, Heather, Halo, Hendrix
Iona, Inez, Imelda, Isolde, Inigo, Ivan
Juniper, Jonquil, Jasmine, June, July, Juno, Journey, Jesse, Jude, Javen, Jago
Kiki, Keziah, Keltie, Kenya, Kit
Liara, Leonie, Lorelai, Liandra, Lena, Lyla, Lyra, Lyric, Lennox, Logan, Lorcan
Misty, Meadow, Mabel, Mala, Mila, Mika, Milo

I'm seriously too tired to finish the alphabet!
Raine, River, Rainbow, Raven, Phoenix, Rowan, Robin, Sage, Sorrel, Saffron, Reed, Rio, Tate, Tanner, Quinn

For what it's worth, I know a little Ocean (male) whose sisters are Cosima and Hope. Other names on the table for the last baby were Celeste, Céline/Selene, Felicity, Flora, and Mercy. The two I remember they had for boys were Justin and Samson.
