Strong and rhythmic American Indian name. 

Niabi

The name of a famous Israeli singer, Ofra Haza, but here it would be confused with Oprah. 

Ofra

Old Testament name of the daughter-in-law of Naomi, now eclipsed by the originally misspelled Oprah. Oprah Winfrey may have made her name more famous than this original Biblical version, but no baby girls received either name in the US last year.

Orpah

Dymphna – also spelled Dympna – is the distinctive name of an Irish virgin martyr. According to the legend, she was a Celtic princess who fled to Belgium to escape the abusive attentions of her unwell father. After her murder, she was named the patron saint of the mentally ill. 

 Derived from the Old Irish Damhnait, Dymphna has the charming – perhaps woodsy and whimsical – meaning of "fawn" and some of the sounds of stylish Daphne. Despite its classic Irish feel, this name is out of fashion in its native country, with Dymphna last appearing in the Irish stats back in the 1980s.
 
There have been two noted writers with this name, the Australian Dymphna Cusack and the Irish travel writer Dymphna Byrne.
