I thought that one was less 'unusual' and seems to be particularly popular around here at least.

Not a lot of 'unique or unusual' rebbetzin names out there though.

Some of the Chabad Rebbetzins had some pretty unusual names by today's standards: Chaya Mushka and Shterna Sara, for example.

I guess it depends on what circles you move in. Chaya Mushka certainly isn't 'unique or unusual' in Lub. circles!

emunua

Should have added that to my list of personal favorites.

Berel Wein tells a story about a family that had 6 girls - Gila, Rina, Ditzah, Chedva, Ahava, Achva and then a boy named Shalom!

Avigayel is from Nach ("biblical")

it's so much fun really choosing a name for your kid, and not naming him/her after someone. I don't think I'll ever get a chance to do that.
