The most creative:

Nagaela - an Aboriginal name. I couldn't find a meaning, although it is the name of a town in Australia. Pronounced NAH-GAY-LA

---

Raneleigh - pronounced RAN-LEE. I want to like this but unfortunately it doesn't have a pretty sound to my ear.

---

Rebel - hmmm...

---

Mystina - I suppose you could use "Misty" as a nn?

---

Fallon - From a surname. Has the potential to become very trendy right now

---

Jacoba - a very bold choice

---

Fabiola - LOVE this, she went by Fab as a nn

---

Eirann - such a beautiful sound, although I don't think it would ever be used in Ireland

---

Medea - I don't think I could use this one!

---

Mardi - I wonder if these girls were born on a Tuesday

---

Beauacana nn Beau - A made-up name. Pronounced like Bianca, except you remove the the BEE sound and replace it with BEAU. BEAU-ANKA.
