Looking for suggestions for both boys and girls as we are keeping the gender as a surprise until baby is born. Mainly looking for names similar to those below that I have liked and feel have a traditional theme.

Boys:
Laurence
George
Henry
Montague (mainly like the nickname Monty)
Rafferty
Kit
Merritt (fairly out there imo but saw it recently and liked it?)
Rory

Also thinking I need more help with girls names ideas…
Girls:
Harriet
Joan
Darcy
India
Saoirse (don’t know if this is exactly traditional?)
Philippa
Winnifred
Honor
Nellie
Theodora

If you like Merritt, I know an elderly Merrick? Which I also liked!
