Looking for suggestions for both boys and girls as we are keeping the gender as a surprise until baby is born. Mainly looking for names similar to those below that I have liked and feel have a traditional theme.

Boys:
Laurence
George
Henry
Montague (mainly like the nickname Monty)
Rafferty
Kit
Merritt (fairly out there imo but saw it recently and liked it?)
Rory

Also thinking I need more help with girls names ideas…
Girls:
Harriet
Joan
Darcy
India
Saoirse (don’t know if this is exactly traditional?)
Philippa
Winnifred
Honor
Nellie
Theodora

Love Rory - I have two DDs but that was my boy name choice along with Samuel for DD2. I think it's classy, timeless and not too 'out there'.

Love your boys list apart from Kit, don't like any of the names on your girls list.

Catherine
Jasmine
Jessica
Jennifer
Laura
Grace
Audrey
