Here's one no other kid will have ...
Marghanita
It's a Hebrew flower name but very rare. There was a famous British writer, Marghanita Laski.
I don't think you can do better than Magdalena - very elegant and beautifuul, although you might consider Magdalen.

Interesting, would it be MAR-gah-NEE-ta? I like Magdalen too, better than Magdalene. I feel like without the extra E on the end, I could pronounce it -lin which I like better instead of -line. Thanks!

What's a Marghanita in English? Is the H prn the Hebrew way?

It's mar-gah-NEE-tuh and it's a scarlet pimpernel type plant that grows wild in Israel.
The h is redundant really - it could also be Marganita but that's how she spelled it (her father picked it out for her).
It's on at least one Hebrew name list online; I think the one linked to learnhebrew.com or similar website title (sorry, I'm not on my usual computer and in a hurry!)
