Unusual but not wacky girls names?

Trying to compile a list of girls’ names… I tend to like names which aren’t too common, I work in a school so unfortunately associate a lot of more popular or commonly used names with our pupils. I don’t want anything too crazy but would be interested to hear of any names which people love but don’t hear often?
For example, I really like the name Rumer, as in the children’s author Rumer Godden, but my husband hates it as associates it with “rumour” - which I get. I just liked that it’s different and I don’t know of anyone called Rumer!
