Unusual girl name suggestions - help!

Name Advice

We are expecting a baby next year and we’re totally stuck on a girls name. [name_m]Just[/name_m] can’t find any that we both like!

We already have a boys name picked out - we like [name_m]Otto[/name_m] for a boy. To me this is on the “slightly unusual but still recognisable” scale and we’d really like our girls name to be a similar theme.

We quite like [name_f]Rumi[/name_f] and Rivie… But they just don’t seem like the names. We’re not as in love with them as we are with [name_m]Otto[/name_m].

Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

If it helps, some names we liked but ultimately ruled out (for various reasons): [name_m]Marlow[/name_m], Zephi, [name_m]Sawyer[/name_m], [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f].
