Traditional, under used names?

Another baby name thread from me - less than 8 weeks to go and no further forward with names!

For girls we both like :
Robyn
Erin

For boys we like
Callum
Euan

There seems to be a lot of Callum's about at the moment so kind of gone off that name.

We like traditional names but not overly common. Don't like 'old fashioned' names that seem to making a comeback (Nancy, Alfie etc - no offence to anyone just not our cup of tea). Also, must be easy and obvious to spell (Euan is giving me issues as 2 very different ways of spelling)

Any other suggestions? I feel like I've been on every google baby name page!!

Innes is a dreadful name. Gillies is worse IMO. What about Hugo or Campbell (if you like Scottish names)

Well DH likes Callan (yay!) and also likes Elin but prefers the Scandinavian pronunciation of Ee-Lin which although I like too, no one would get right!!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions - we are making progress!
