I'm looking for classic names which will not date. Wondered what people think about these:

Kathryn
Harriet
Eva
Alice
Elisa
Anna

Thanks!

I would not personally call ELisa classic, Eliza yes, Elisa no.

Kathryn is ok - agree I don't like this spelling. Kate is a nice nn, but i do not like Kitty or Katie.
Harriet - lovely, great nn's
Eva - dull
Alice - lovely. Really pretty, but grown up at the same time.
Elisa - horrid
Anna - alright, prefer Anne.

My favourite 'classics' - Margaret, Victoria, Iris, Jane, Louisa.

Agree they are all classic

Kathryn - irrationally have never liked this spelling - much prefer Catherine or Katharine
Harriet - bit dull and prissy for me
Eva - like it, but can't help but think of braun
Alice - went to school with a really annoying one, hence not personally keen
Elisa - LOVE Eliza, how are you pronouncing Elisa?
Anna - used to think it was a bit meh, is actually really growing on me.
