For number 1 for a girl i'd use
Rowena, Wilhelmina, Mavis or Thomasina
Hubby doesn't like Rowena, Mavis or Thomasina :( Maybe : Thomasina Rowena Mavis
For a boy:
Romulus, Ignatius, Percival, Casper, Emmanuel (some of these he likes)
Maybe: Romulus Percival Casper
For number 2, my husband loves unusual old names as much as I do, but if I was going for 'conservative' or 'popular' i'd go with maybe:
Julian Gabriel or Gabriel Felix for a boy
for a girl
Eleanor Isobel or Audrey Annabel
Rowena, Wilhelmina, Mavis or Thomasina
