Unusual but not too unique boy and girl names

Name Advice
1

Currently debating names and wondering what other suggestions are out there. I like unusual but not too out there names, ones where they could be the only one in their year with that name in school but not names that are so unique nobody has ever heard of them. Names I quite like include:

[name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought: I have 2 kids, one in daycare and one in 1st grade. School does K-8. I love looking at yearbooks/class lists to see the kids names. Haven’t seen a single class so far with 2 kids having the same name. [name_f]My[/name_f] kids have rather classical names and I haven’t met another one ever. A boy in 5th grade has a name that’s a variant of my 1 year old, that’s the closest we get. At most I found the same name 3-4 times in the entire school.
[name_f][/name_f]I know it’s a common 90s kids trauma but I wouldn’t worry too much about it today.
