Are there any names you love but wonder why they aren't used more often? If so, which ones? (if this even makes sense)

I'm surprised Rose and maybe Rosa aren't more popular, given the whole trend for old-fashioned names, and flower names like Violet.

I just met a very cute baby girl named Petra! I love it!

my husband is intent on naming a girl Lydia. I'd be more inclined to if it weren't the name of my great-aunt who hates everyone.

[chibiaichan.livejournal.com]

omg I didn't even think of mrs. doubtfire... but you're right!!

Petra is very common here (The Netherlands)!

I'm actually not a fan, haha.

Felicity - the meaning is "happy" - how could you not want your child to be named something that means "happy"
Anne - every little girl loves Anne of Green Gables, but nobody is naming their daughter Anne anymore.
