My sister's name is Charla (pronounced Sharla). She was named after my dad, Charles.

My other DD is Victoria thus Tori. You have lots of good suggestions!! We could start a book! 
Growing up I ALWAYS said that if I had a girl I would name her,Goofy22 said:HI!Question for anyone do you have any suggestions on some unique but not so unique Baby Girls names? My Niece is pregnant and she found out she is having a girl and would like some suggestions for different names that aren't so common but not so different that you are going to be blown away when you hear it! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
) I ended up naming her ....

We liked the name Lily but thought it was too common- I named my daughter Liliana (from Snow White a Tale of Terror w. sigouney weaver) and do you know I ran into a girlfriend of mine from HS whose daughter has the same name- WHAT!!! YOu gotta be freakin kidding me.. Not only that but since we named her and Lily barely made the top 100 most popular names, I hear it all the time. There are a billion Lily's on TV. I've taken the nasty habit of correcting everyone who shortens her name-No, her name is liliANA! and not Lily Anna either-ugh!! But by the same token she wasn't saddled with Moon Unit either.

I know how you feel, I "feel your pain" I named my daughter, AmberRae. Her full name is AmberRae Elizabeth. I hate hate hate when they ask her name and I tell them (or she does) AmberRae and they INSTANTLY say, "Oh Amber, what a beautiful name!"t-beri said:Careful with this, you know my hubby and I were trying to find something unique but not freakish.

"I" instantly responed with, "We don't call her Amber, her name is AmberRae" or "Her name is not Amber it is AmberRae" My DH HATES when I do that. But good greif! If your name is Wendy, would I instantly assume you are to be called "WEN"?! I didn't name her AMBER for a reason. Can you tell it drives me nuts! LOL she's 8 now. She does the correcting herself. We have been lucky sincr we moved here. The last two classes she's been in there was another girl in the class named Amber so they had no choice but to call her AmberRae. He teacher this year when I told her we don't call her Amber told me that she completley understood as her daughter's name is Annabella or something and has the same problem. good luck!
