What is a name that would be slightly unusual to hear during the 1700s?

Question

For a female character in a story, which is set around the 1700s. I am looking for a name that is only slightly unusual, though not overly so. Just a name that will draw attention to her when it is revealed, but not a name that will cause her to be alienated. 

Any help and suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!

I couldn't add everything on the best answer,sorry:(

Thank you so much for pointing the paradox issue. I understand the need to explain it, but I didn't want to put all the info out there (in case someone has severe, chronic writers block;), just a basic summary and mostly focus on the Greek. 

Why I chose paradox--the Aldora people (the collective name for the faerie race) live in a parallel dimension where time both moves and affects them differently and they have long since learned how to cross into ours. 

Hope that clears it up:)

Adela is interesting. If you assume that her family has any Catholic ties it would also be logical. Adela is the name of an 8th century Catholic saint.
