Slighty hipster names

Just found out we are pregnant with baby number 5, does anyone have any suggestions of names we might like?

We want something not too popular, probably want to stay away from top 100 but we also dont want them to be totally out there or unspellable either. We seem to like a lot of names that are labelled as 'hipster' and on 'hipster baby names' lists. (know thats nots popular on mn)
We have an S surnames so dont want a S name and we already have a E, J, T and Q and would prefer if they all had a different letter.

Names we love but are not quite right, some of them we love are just not brave enough
Boys: Harley, Beau, Jesse, Xavier, Blue, Ziggy, Dax
Girls: Mila, Birdie, Bessie, Delilah, Indie, River

Have you found the old thread on here where people suggest The Shipping Forecast as a suitable source of Hipster names? Cromarty, Malin and Viking have distinct possibilities.

I think your girls list is dated with all those cutesy names and the next big thing (bearing in mind I'm a middle aged woman and so as unhip as it's possible to be) will be grown up names like Frances, Eleanor, Caroline, Elizabeth, Margaret, Emmeline, Gertrude, Alexandra.

Whether they're labelled as hipster or not it doesn't matter, I would prefer a more unique name than the hordes of Imogen's, Olivia, Jack, Harry, Charlies etc

I've always fancied naming my son Roman if I have one, just always thought it was cool

Harley, Blue and Ziggy sound trashy to me sorry. I quite like Jesse.
Not keen on any of the girls names.
I like:

Ezra
Leo
Jude

Elora
Guinevere
Lena
Eliana
Eve
