Old Lady Cool names?

Got a boy's name picked (we think). Got lots of time left but just thinking about a girl's name. Got DD, Olivia, and would like something charming and elegant to go with it. Love old lady cool names like Molly and Maisie but two friends' snatched these already. Any more ideas? Thought of Isobel, Anna, Emily, Hannah, but would love lots of like-minded suggestions!

Maude

Gertrude
Winifred

As old lady names.

Hopefully, for the DC, Iris is not getting popular-although there are quite a few around-preferable to Ivy.
