JW what names you think can suit any age? For example I would be (pleasantly) suprised to meet a baby named Doris but not an adult named Jane IYSWIM?

Anna and agree with Sam - it's a lovely name.

Any name that hasn't been overused by a particular age group.
In other words classic names that are timeless, such as
Dominic
Antonia
Quentin
Sarah
Thomas
Seraphina

I always think Sophie suits any age. I can picture easily a baby, child and teen called Sophie or 'Soaf'. Then a strong, artistic looking woman in her 30's and also as a kindly looking, grey haired elderly lady with a sparkle in her eye. They would have to have long thick hair they put in a loose, messy bun though!

Seriously though, I think the name becomes te person, not the other way around. I know a toddler named Doris who absolutely couldn't be anything else now, even though I was a bit Hmm when I first heard it.
