Unusual but classy baby names?

Please throw any suggestions at me - both male and female as we don't know the sex yet.

I would love something very classy / traditional but something you don't hear every day! I love 'Grace' for a girl but I know it's quite common.

I also like 'Ethan' for a boy but a close relative has a son called that so that's out too. Other than that my mind is stumped...

Got right to the bottom of that very long list before spotting Elizabeth. Doesn't get more classy that the late queen and is desperately unfashionable, so ticks lots of boxes.

Girls - Theodora, Sandrine, Candida, Cressida, Araminta

Curious to see what opinions I get on these baby names.. There's none I'm really in love with at the moment. Me and my partner have different tastes. This is a mixture of our suggestions.

Girls-
Harper
Lillian
Harlow
Wren
Remi

Boys-
Jaxon
Layton
Carter
Reid
Remy

My partner loves the name colton nn Colt but I just can't seem to like it. I like Reid as a middle name for boy and Wren for middle name for a girl. I am feeling Jaxon Reid nn Jax but partner isn't on board currently
