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...

@Footgoose Why thank you! My name is too! Lol

my son is Tom , so didn't put that as it's not 'unusual' but it's a good strong classic name I feel as well.

Thank you all so much - very helpful. We have added a fair few of these to the potential list.

Love love Olive and Ophelia!! @Jongleterre @HedgesNotFences

Girl names seem to be a little easier, however I'm convinced we're having another boy. We shall see.
