What are you favorite, obscure, guilty pleasure girl names?

Girl Names
1

Hubby has asked that I make a post and ask everyones favorite obscure baby girl names.
We feel as if we have heard them all and we just don’t like anything. We are STRUGGLING to name this baby.

So nothing mainstream, nothing on the top 1000…

Some names we just don’t like for whatever reason: [name_f]Freya[/name_f] (and similar names), [name_f]Saskia[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Calliope[/name_f], [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] (these have all been suggested to match our sons ‘unusual’ names and we just don’t like them.)

So that being said, what are your favorite obscure baby girl names? [name_m]Just[/name_m] hoping to at least drum up some inspiration!

Is Apolline being pronounced Ap-o-Leen-a? I rather like that…

My ([name_m]French[/name_m] Canadian) great-grandmother pronounced it Ap-o-leen. It’s a female version of [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], so cool! But I could see it ending more in an eh/a sound in a [name_m]German[/name_m] pronunciation. Apolena is another name that has pretty much that sound.

My favorite is [name_f]Serendipity[/name_f]!
