Lara for girl, Hugh for a boy, fit these criteria I think.

Agree with the above suggestion of Lara!

Also love Sadie and Libby.

For boys I like Ben (rather than Benjamin) and Cassian (could use the nn Cass) at the moment!

@PurrBox

John Mary
Agree with these - ultimate classic names (were no 1 for decades), short, simple but now very underused. The child would also have the option for more modern/trendy nn's for them, if you used John or Mary on the BC (like Jack or Johnny, May or Molly)

Agree with suggestions of John, Mary, Peter, Hugh above.

Has anyone mentioned Jane? Or Anne?

Robert and David, perhaps.

Flora was just going to say Jane or Ann. Personally love Jane.
