I love some of your choices, I adore Audra, I don’t particularly like the name Winifred, have you considered more unusual names but just as old with the nickname Winnie? Such as Wynne, and Elowen?
Some of my own suggestions are . . .
Fern
Aurelia
Edith
Margo
Birdie
Joanne
Quinn
Helena
Thalia
Mathilde
Toby, for a girl, if your not comfortable using it as a first, maybe a middle name?

I love the name Emmett and I think Patrick is such an udnerused named :)
My favorite names on your list are Maeve and Micah! Though I like the nicknames that come with Mackenna :)
Other ideas that give me less-common-classic vibes:
Sienna Marie
Lara Hailey
Annika Renee
Summer Micah
Thea Quinn
(Abby) Abigail Violet
Eden Elizabeth
Josette June nn Josie, Jo, JJ
Bonnie Evelyn
Davina Marie
Annabeth Claire
Rebecca Rose
Wendy Rose
Sutton Victoria
Elle Victoria
Addison Paige

Nicolette Ivy
Serena Leighton
Nina Leonore
(Billie) Wilhelmina/Willa Marie
Blaire Ivy
(Demi) Demetria Maeve
Reese Cassidy
Shay Victoria
Annalise Darcy
Natalie Noelle
Lavender Marie
Ginny (Virginia/Geneva) (it's probably Harry Potter but Ginny just screams baby sister to me :)
Tess Mackenzie
Prue Taylor
Nora Kennedy
Celeste Monroe
Daisy Gemma (Gemma was one of the first names that came to mind, but I think siblings that have the same nickname options 'Em/Emmy' is probably too close lol)
Jennifer Rose nn Jenny (I know it's been a very popular name among Gen X and Millenials - but I haven't heard of a new one in a really long time)
Melody Marie
Piper Lily
Keira Evelyn
Maxine Josette nn MJ
Anna Spencer
Caroline Serena

Emmett is one of my favourite names and I like the name Russell
Emmett, Russell & Faith ❤️
Both your sons names end in double letters so maybe continue the "theme"?
Adalynn / Lynn
Brynn
Wynn
Emmalynn
Annalee
Desiree
Esmee
Renee (understated classic in my opinion)
Maylee
Honeybee (not serious)
Jubilee (meaning is “I shout for joy”)
Nyree (origin is Maori)
Boann / Bo-Ann
Roseann
Bethann

Love that you picked up on the double letters!! It was a total coincidence for the boys but now it’s feeling like we’re locked in with this girl. Thanks for all the suggestions!

I like Evelyn Maeve as a combo, though the sounds of both names are quite similar. Other suggestions are Molly, Lila, Phoebe, Ivy, Zoe, Daisy, Freya, Gemma, Georgia, Heidi, Hannah, Tabitha, Tessa, Sadie, Jasmine and Matilda.

I like Maeve, Makenna, Marie and Victoria
Others Susannah, Vivienne, Vanessa, Cassandra, Abigail, Gabrielle, Annabel, Annalise, Anthea, Bianca, Chantal, Felicity, Fiona, Genevieve, Grace, Holly, Heidi, Jacqueline, Laura, Jessica, Natalie, Nadia, Odette, Phoebe, Penelope, Tessa, Yvette
I wouldn't use Evelyn as you already have a E name

First of all, congratulations on filling the all-human commandment on bearing fruit, multiplying and filling the land, as the minimum to fulfill it is one son and one daughter.
I suggest perhaps Marie Alexandra or Annelise Marie. or maybe Victoria Regina. and maybe Leonore Emilia.

I personally would not use Micah for a girl, but YMMV.
Whether a name is "overused" or not is subjective, but you probably would want to avoid Evelyn if you are in the USA as it's been a top ten girls' name here for several years now.
Russell's peak year of use in the USA was 1914. Some girls' names popular at that time which are not now in the top 100 would include Mary, Helen, Dorothy, Margaret, Ruth, Frances, Marie, Florence, Virginia, Rose, Louise, and Irene.
Of the ones you are already considering I think Marie and Leonore fit your criteria the best.
