Other possibilities for names are to look at alternative versions - for instance, you might not want Esther, but you could have Hester. Just looking at a couple of Victorian children's books will give you dozens of names! (Because the authors would not only be picking up the newer names, they'd be remembering names from their own childhoods too.) - Hester, Hesba (famous-ish Victorian author Hesba Stretton), Jessica/Jess/Jessie, Toby, Beth/Bessie/Bess/Betty, Molly/Dolly/Peg/Meg/Maggie, Jonas, Winifred/Winny/Winnie, Alice/Alicia, Fred/Freddie, George/Georgie (remember lots of boys would have been named after the Prince Regent!), and quite a lot of the less common 'biblical' names - Simon, Elisha, Cyrus, Jehoshaphat, Daniel/Danny, Josiah, and so on and on and on...
