I want old fashion and/or unusual.

My list so far is:

August - B
Aubrey - G
Margot - G
Viviene - G
Kit - B
Perry- B

However, I'm still very undecided and atikk searching for a name that makes me thing "oh I love that!" So far I'm more "mm not bad, I'll put it down"

Hit me with the golden oldies! .. and odd ones!

Margot is so popular and fashionable at the moment. I know a baby Aubrey who is female. I met a baby Lavinia the other day which is quite unusual and old fashioned.

Aubrey is traditionally a boys name. Id assume it was a misspelling of audrey if used as a girls name but there is aubrey plaza the actress

I have an Auberon (have totally outed myself now) - apparently there is an elderly gentleman in our town with that name, never found another.
When people ask his name they always hear it as Aubrey...he get shortened to Obi or Aubes.

The only Aubrey I know is a girl.

You could have Vivien. I think that's how the actress Vivien Leigh spelled her name.
