Names for characters..
I'm in the process of writing a novel but I can't find the right names for any of my characters. I would love help!
I need girl name suggestions that are (1) totally unique and definitely in the fantasy realm, (2) nothing that's been used in other well-known fantasy books/movies (NO Bella or Edwards, please!), and (3) names that have a reference to nature and music in them. Anything is appreciated and the weirder the better!!

I don't know much about names of that realm, but I'd look at the Latin names for trees and flowers. Just looking online, here were some tree varieties:
Ilex (genus of the black alder tree)
Thuja (genus of the arborvitae)
Fraxinus (" ash tree) - maybe Frax or Xinus would work, too?
Betula (" birch)
Nyssa (" black gum)
Aesculus (" buckeye)
Pavi (species name for the scarlet & red varieties or buckeyes)
Castanea (genus for chestnut)
Melia (" for chinaberry)
Aronia (" for red chokecherry)
Here's a site that might help with English, French, and Latin flower names: http://www.earthlypursuits.com/FlwrsPer/FlwrName.htm
And for musical terms, this might help? http://www.classicalworks.com/html/glossary.html
Good luck
