Juniper, Cleona, Hebe, Ingebourg, Shelby, Takako (and I think Claude can be used as both a boys name and a girls name)

You'll have heard of them all but just thought I'd suggest them as you have similar taste to me (considered Orlando and Caspar for ds and Willa for dd) so thought I'd just tell you some of my favourite names.
