neat but maybe too far out there

Bee
- Origin:
  Animal name or English diminutive of Beatrice, Latin
- Meaning:
  "she who brings happiness"
- Description:
  We've seen Beatrice and Beatrix climb in popularity, along with traditional nickname Bea. And now there's Bee, giving it a buzzy nature world spin, plus a tie to popular late night TV''s Samantha Bee, not to mention Aunt Bee on the old The Andy Griffith Show TV show. Bee can theoretically be short for any girl names starting with B.
Afternoon
- Origin:
  English, “afternoon”
- Description:
  An early day name worthy of consideration today for someone seeking a truly unusual name.

Cameo
- Origin:
  Word name
- Description:
  This evocative term for a stone or shell carved in relief could make a striking first name for a girl, though she would have a starring role in her story, rather than a cameo.
