Those are just off the top of my head. I love baby names and when I was a kid I even had a baby names book...I loved reading it to find out all the different names' meanings, and I would create names for characters for my stories and such very carefully.

My Granpa and his Brother are Wayburn and Wilburn, and my other great Uncle is Ozell. I love that name.

I thought of another one for a girl - Betsy

There is a series of books about three girls from the turn of the century that I used to like a lot when I was in elementary school. Their names were Betsy, Tacy (short for Anastasia) and Tib (short for Thelma). Aren't those all cute names??
