Finding it difficult to come up with any name(s) we like! We aren’t finding out the gender.
Trying to find a name that is underused but a classic(not top 100).
We like the names below but can’t use due to family/friends who have used them for their children (understand these names are getting very popular too).
Please help with suggestions!

Girls
Lois
Mabel
Maeve
Iris
Violet

Boys
Otis
Felix
Ralph

What is it you like about those names?

Lois - biblical. Esther, Mary, Martha, Leah, Ruth?
Mabel & Maeve- May sound. Maisie?
Iris & Violet - flowers

Not keen on Mabel & Maeve and only like Felix from the boys' list, so our tastes are different.

I loved Mabel, but really loved the sound of Maybelle, gives you two nickname options as well ! Don't think it's too popular

Some of these are really quite popular at the moment OP. And I'm not sure I'd call them all classic names either.

If you really want underused classics, you can't beat John and Jane. (I actually really love Jane.)

Here are some suggestions which I think have a similar vibe to the ones you've listed:

Jasper
Edmund
Tristan
Louis
Benedict
Jonathan
Francis
Rupert
Alfred
Stephen
Marcus
Julian
Sebastian
Hugo

Edith
Alice
Mary
Emmeline
Ivy
Rose/Rosamund/Rosemary
Daisy
Vera
Flora
Estelle
Cecilia
Louisa
Margaret (lots of nickname potential)
Sally
Clara
Polly
Annabel
