Give me some suggestions for unique/uncommon girl names!

We just found out we're having another girl - yay sisters!

But now comes the hard part.... With our first daughter, there was only one name we could decide on, and we both loved it so there was no problem. Her name is Finnley Louise (MN after her grandmother).

We usually like the same style of names (not popular or common, sort of unisex sounding, last names for first names, etc.), but there hasn't been a particular name that has jumped out at us like Finnley did. An example of the type of name we like would be Emerson, but we'd like more options. I'm also open to girlier names, as long as they're not common. Penelope has been one of the names we've considered that falls into this category.

Anyone have any good suggestions? Or good websites to find ideas for less common names?

I like Peyton too as well as a lot of the pp suggestions.  My cat is named Penelope.  Love her name too.  They named her that at the shelter.  Unfortunately, people still have a hard time spelling it.  WHAT?  and get her name mixed up when they read it and pronounce it like cantaloupe.

There was a girl I grew up with named Caisa, pronounced (KY-sah). I'm not sure if I spelled it right, but it is of celtic origin, and she was a truly beautiful person inside and out. I always admired her name .

We have a Finley as well and we are leaning toward Penelope or Violet. It took us a long time to get to these. And nothing popped out to us either like Finley did. Other names I liked that go well with Finley are Henley, Hadley, Hattie, Maeve, Fallon, Harlow, Marlow, Willow, Hazel, Greer, Grey, Sage, Paige, Emery, Avery, Haven, Maven, Marin.

I like Campbell and Leighton, which I think fit your criteria.

And since you're considering more feminine choices, too....Monica! It's uncommon (ranked 363 in 2010, falling 23 places from 2009---so, becoming less commmon), feminine but not prissy, and just a great name all around.

Babycenter.com has a TON of names. I love your DD's name, and I love Emerson nn Emmy (that is my nieces name, love, love it)

What about Blythe? I've always thought it was a classy, unique yet not distinctly girly name.

I LOVE Penelope! My DH and I only tried once for a baby and we lost him @ 14wks but if we were having a girl we are going to name her Charlie Dawn

 

I always wanted twins named Ella and Emma, but now i would go with Quinn and Alivia.
