Looking for slightly unusual but not too outlandish girl's name

Looking for a girl's name for my 4th (due soon). Want something recognisable and easy to pronounce but not as popular as Chloe, Jessica etc.

Any ideas???

i love anya, beautiful name, considered it for dd2.

What about Iris, Nora, Belle, Jean, Olive, Niamh, Aoife, (got my two in there!)

Good luck choosing a name, its not easy.

I recently took a liking to Eleanor. How about that.

This list I didn't get to use

Juliet
Phoebe
Annabel
Vivien

Also love Dulcie, Hazel and Zelda, but probably, for me, they would have been more middle names.

MaggieLeo · 24/08/2009 18:26

... i like Zelda even though I like girls names that don't end in an 'a'. I make an exception for Zelda.

MaggieLeo · 24/08/2009 18:27

and Greta, come to think of it.

I would not know how to spell or pronouce Anwen; my tongue would trip all over it, do you say it Anwin or Anwen? Is that an E or an I for the second vowel?, etc.

Ann, Anna, Emma, Julie, Julia, Sarah, Jaqueline, Karen, Eve
Martha, Nicola, Josephine, Victoria, Louise
Helen, Ellen, Mary, Rosemary, Millicent, Joanne, Judith, Diana, Penelope

A lot of the names suggested by others are neither what I could call 'recognisable' nor obvious how to pronounce imho.

How about Corinne?

Lovely french name - not weird but not common either. Can be pronounced two ways.
