At the pre-school I work in we have a Piper, Bailey, Armani, Renae, Fern, Fleur and Ronniece which are pretty unusual imho. I think Scarlet is lovely and Seren.

we had pehobe or Kira or Kyah (depending on my mood for the spelling) my cousin's little girl is Lois which is unusual I think.

The names you have chosen so far are pretty, but not v original. Have a look at some old threads in archived topics. there's hundreds on there. Hope that helps!

Great ones suggested, here is a couple more:

Elodie
Savanna
Rae
Olivia
Arienne
Neroli
Fleur

There is a Hermione at my DD2s toddler group and there is a Germaine at my DD1s school. I once taught a Arabesque (!!?!!) and her older sister was Angelique..

I was going to suggest Jade (I love the stone) but remembered BB and thought better not!! :)

Someone I worked with called her DD Marla. I had never come across the name before & thought it was pretty.

Oh, one of the most unusual & pretty names I have come across was Ynes - pronounced E - nes.
I thought it was a really striking name & had never come across it before or since.
We have a little girl in our class called Eleri, which is also pretty unusual.

Well, Ishtar is the name of a Goddess, and I think Istara might be a derivative of that. Not a bad choice, really
