My kids are 16-21 so I won't be using any myself! But I still think of names I like that I rarely hear, especially in the under 10s. Of course my choices may age me! Some I like:

Natasha
Naomi
Cosima
Greta
Sebastian
Conrad
Jamie
Tamzin
Constantine

And maybe this isn't underused (?) I dunno but my fav boy's name is Dominic and DH said NO.

Laurence. Beautiful name.

Ursula, Annika, Sabrina, and Jocelyn.

But since I apparently only produce boys, I won't be able to use them!

Agree about Natasha.

I like Aneurin as a boys name, after the founder of the NHS.

My absolute favourite is Hilda. It's probably a good job we never had a daughter, as DH hates it and we'd have seriously fallen out...

I like Hilda too, Hildegard nn Hildy is nice

Most of these names aren't chronically underused, some come up on here again and again.
