Unusual name for 3rd DD

[Verity79]

I've just found out today we're having our third girl! I think we've got her name but just not sure (I was kind of hoping for a boy this time around).

DD1 is Lilith Louise (1st feminist/my middle name)
DD2 is Alethea Ivy (Greek version of my name/DH Grandma) Thea for short.

My DH has one stipulation no repeated initials so J, V, L and A are out. He and his mum share the same initial so lead to much confusion when letters were addressed to J XXXXXX.

Our current choice is Callia Ianthe (Beautiful/purple flower) but I'm just not sure. I've used up all my crush names on my previous baby naming opportunities children.

Any suggestions? We like odd, unusual names with either a strong history/sweet meaning/family significance.

Like the suggestion of Gaia. Ismene would also fit in well.

Esme (pronounced Es-may)
Teigan
Carys
Imogen

Not really that unusual are they but still just thought I'd add some

I love Xanthe. Friend has just named her daughter Xnathe Rose which I think is gorgeous.

What about another Greek name like Euphemia, Estrathia or Ariadne?

Your daughters have lovely names! I think Callia or Celeste very much to go with your other girls' names.

What pretty names!
Love Xanthe/ Ianthe too and also Calliope, Allegra and Ariadne.
How about:
Ione
Isolde
Anais
Aurora
Beatrix
Cleo
Violetta

Sorry! Didn't read your post properly- you said no A's- shame as there are lots of pretty ones!

What about Eleri? Good welsh name!

Love Ianthe/ Xanthe.

What about Calypso or Circe? if you're going Greek sounding.

if your after any pretty girls names with a welsh connection here are a few:

Cariad - Love

Ffion - Rose

Eira - Snow (pronounced Eye-ra

Gwen - White

Seren - star

Seren-Haf - summer star

Lillith, Alethea and Delphi (the oracle, obviously)
Lillith, Alethea and Aurora (dawn)
Lillith, Alethea and Aviva (Hebrew, springtime)
Lillith, Alethea and Liadan (Irish female poet of Legend)

I like Callia. She'd get called Cally (or Cal); would that bother you?

What about Eleri as an alternative Welsh girls name to Eleni (which is also pretty)
I also like Llinos - Linnet, would your dh count Ll as a different initial to L?

I have a Cordelia which I love and a close contender was Cassia

Callia is lovely though and goes very nicely with your other girls names

congrats - 3 girls are fab

oh and Cordelia's mn is Ismay which I also love

Calista?
Cordelia?
Emmeliene
Evangeliene
Rafaella
Clothilde
Coralie
Hermione
Solenne
Tace
Seren

that's all the unusual ones I can think of!

we both loved Morwenna but it didn't go with our sir name.

and DD1 was almost Arwyn which is Welsh for muse and exceptionally pretty

one of our DD's has a welsh name but it is predominantly used for boys and makes everyone go when we tell them what her name is

{SK gives a quick wave to DD}

I do like Callia but prefer Talia as I have one myself

Cassia is v pretty
Cassandra
Arianna
Elodie
Elianna
Marissa

Cassiopeia
Callanthe or Calla
Isadora
Persephone
Thora
Iris
Vivienne
