Classy girls names

I'm on the lookout for some classy girls names that aren't too popular.

So far i've compiled;

Cecilia
Cordelia
Mabel
Elizabeth
Harriet
Henrietta
Georgia
Juliet
Maria

I was just wondering what people thought of them and if you have any ideas, please share. Thanks!

Arf :o

People who think they know the rules of what class is and isn't aren't pleasant people.

musicalsinger913 · 12/07/2011 11:37

Class is something you have, or you don't. You can't "try" and be classy. People who want classy names aren't classy people.

I have a Matilda and a Henrietta who are 6 and 2, I think both names are classy cool - we are not posh btw!

Fifis25StottieCakes · 30/06/2011 15:16

What about Thomasine/ Thomasina. Seriously under used name with the old name revival. You could call her Ena as a nickname.

Oh I think Mabel is lovely.

I've never met a real life Mabel. To me it's a character from an E. Nesbit book. :)

I'm surprised it's not more popular.

"Mabel is lovely"

My elderly neighbour in her eighties is mortified that her middle name is Mabel. She hates it.

I do not understand the come back. Mabel is awful.

Alexandra but then I'm biased.

Seriously though it's at school, there was only one other in my school at primary and in secondary.

At university I didn't come across another in any of my classes.

At work I didn't come across any others in any of my jobs.

It's very classy and not at all popular.

Hedwig3 · 28/06/2011 11:08

Love Cecilia - and also, Celia.

How about Ophelia?

MelinaM · 27/06/2011 20:25

I would remove Georgia from your list TBH - its fine but I don't think it fits with your criteria. All others mentioned are lovely.
