Inspo please!! Baby due next month. We don't know the gender!

My other kids all have classic names that aren't too popular

So looking for something that's not so unique it will raise eyebrows, but also won't be shared with another child in the class.

Thanks !

For a Boy. ... Alistair. Damon. Edwin. Lawrence. Conrad. Timothy. Jeffrey. Malachi. Gregory. Stefan. Winston.

For a Girl ... Adrianna. Virginia. Dorothy. Madeleine. Catherine. Jennifer. Elspeth. Louisa. Miranda. Antonia. Cynthia. Amy. Deborah.

There's obviously no guarantee that there won't be another in any of their classes, though. Also sorry for any repeats.

Not many kids called Helen, Caroline or (referencing another thread) Deborah.

Garth, Brian, David and Keith are all out of fashion which gives them pro points from me.

It's so hard to predict what names are going to be repeats. About 8 years ago I taught a class of 9 year olds with 3 boys all called Angus - in Buckinghamshire, not even Scotland! And I have a little relative called Caspian who is not the only one at his nursery.

But, on the balance of probablility, I would class these as relatively unusual but 'known' names:

Adeline, Anne, April, Ailsa, Angela, Annalise, Anika, Bronte, Bryony, Claire, Cecilia, Carys, Camilla, Diana, Delilah, Erica, Enid, Esther, Faith, Fleur, Giselle, Gemma, Honor, Harmony, Hebe, Hester, Isadora, Inez, Jemima, Joanna, Kate, Keziah, Larissa, Leonie, Laura, Miranda, Melissa, Miriam, Natasha, Natalie, Nadia, Naomi, Nadine, Opal, Phyllis, Posy, Queenie, Ruth, Rita, Rosemary, Romilly, Ramona, Rowan, Sorrel, Sylvia, Saskia, Serena, Saffron, Tanya, Tamara, Tamsin, Talitha, Verity, Vanessa, Xanthe, Zara

Adam, Anthony, Adrian, Bradley, Christian, Caleb, Cyrus, Declan, Dominic, Evan, Ellis, Fraser, Gareth, Hugh, Ivan, Jonah, Joel, Jermey, Jeremiah, Jonty, Justin, Jude, Jared, Kenneth, Kit, Lachlan, Martin, Matthew, Myles, Marcus, Noel, Orson, Otis, Patrick, Perry, Ross, Roland, Raphael, Seth, Solomon, Titus, Vincent, Victor, Walter, Xavier

I was also going to suggest Caroline (neglected atm) and Helena, and Howard.

I also like some old English classics like Harold (Harry) and Edmund.
