Favourite names outside of top 100

I mainly see names within the top 100 in the UK on Mumsnet. What are your top favourite girl and boy names outside of the top 100? Please don’t sarcastically put anything silly😅only names you can imagine a child and adult having.

I love unusual names. I have 137 on my girls list outside the top hundred and 98 on my boys list. Narrowing it down to names which I think that most people would consider broadly usable.
