Looking for Exotic girl names

I am trying to find a "pretty girl" exotic name for my little girl on the way. I am half Filipino and found Malaya the only decent name listed for Filipino baby names. I'm kinda liking 3 syllable names right now.

So if anyone can offer any exotic name, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Malaya is pretty! Do you like Masaya or Julita? Or something stylistically different, like Xaviera or Acacia? This is a tough one!

It's not Filipino, but the first name that popped into my head is Anastasia.

Good luck!

I agree that Malaya is very pretty.

Malaya is very pretty but isn't that another name for Malaysia? I lived in Singapore for a few years so maybe it wouldn't matter elsewhere - but I just think of the country.

I actually like Malaya. Its different without being weird, I love that is a real name. The only thing I can think of that would be bad is that it is similar to the whole Makayla trend. If you don't want Malaya what do you think of Sasha? I thinks its a beautiful name, real but heard rarely. I also think of a dark skinned brunette with big blue eyes.
