I totally get the desire for an original name instead of the ancient Biblical ones our great grandparents used but please let’s not inflict our imaginative choices on our precious babies. |
In the States you are right but I just want to point out that these names are not that outrageous in Israel.

I know several people named Shiran. It's a completely normal name in Israel.

Shiran is a fairly common name in Israel (though not in chareidi circles). At my workplace, which has around 60 people, 3 of them are named Shiran! At least one of them is religious (again, not chareidi though). It means 'their (female) song' - "שיר שלהן", which has a very nice meaning. I don't think I've ever heard non-Israelis use it though.

Shira isn't so accepted in yeshivish circles anymore due to R' Chaim Kanievsky zt"l saying there is no mesorah for this name. I know people named Shira who changed their names after this.
Rina and Tehila are super common, at least in Lakewood. One of my daughters has 3 Rinas in her class. Growing up I had two Tehilas in my class.

I think Ashira, Hallel, Renana and Ronit are all beautiful names, and are becoming more common of late.
I know a Ronya (song of G-d) and a Meitar, but they are definitely more unusual.
Gitit is the name of a musical instrument from the Beis HaMikdash. I know a few Gitits.

Yes, all previous suggestions are good. Mine are Marnina and Tehilla.
Hatzlacha and a happy Chanukah.

I personally know people called Shiran and Shirit.
Everyone likes different names.
