Elegant, classic, timeless girls names?

[Meggie2110]

I want to give my daughter an elegant, timeless name. Names like poppy, maisy etc are adorable but i can't imagine them for a grown woman. I really love the names Emma, Laura and Charlotte but i know so many or there's already one in the family so i'm looking for similar names which are a little bit less common.

I like Eleanor. I think "royal" names are quite classic and timeless - so Victoria, Charlotte, Eliazabeth, Caroline, Beatrice.

Are you looking for something classic and fashion-proof?

Juliet - I love this name and I know some adult ones and a tiny one
Rachel - I wonder why this isnt as popular as Hannah
Marianne - very elegant imo
Susannah - I don't think I could guess a Susannah's age
Eleanor - There are young ones but also young adults and my Mum's friend, so it is fashion-proof
Annabel - same feel as Eleanor
Kate - never goes away
Sarah - There aren't many now, it's still pretty. It would be unusual for a baby.

I really like Laurel like the plant, but I'm not sure I would say it was timeless. Plant inspired names are popular now.

[ValiumSingleton]

LaureL I mean.
