I am totally stuck on names for my baby girl, due any day! I want a classic, elegant name that is not too, too popular or likely to scream 'born in 2015' in 20 years time SmilePlease tell me what you think of:

Eloise
Madeleine
Imogen

Thank you!

Of them all my favourite is Eloise.

IoraRua · 03/11/2015 22:53

I think all of those will date. Madeleine probably the safest out of the three. Eloise screams 2015 to me. Imogen very popular I think.

Nice names but I do feel they'd be dated....

I don't like them but probably Eloise.

I called my baby Eve. That's timeless and classic!

Thanks all. Trout, Isabel is lovely, but with variant spellings, very high in the current E&W top 10, as is Sophia.

They are all very nice, but I slightly prefer Eloise.

All are lovely. I would just say that Madeleine will have to spell her name out as there are variations.

Madeleine

yeOldeTrout · 03/11/2015 22:12

I don't like any of them, sorry. Classic elegant, not too popular or too 2015, I think of

Catherine
Alexandra
Victoria
Isabel / -la / Isadora
Fiona
Claudia, Beatrice,
Sophia...

Madeleine.

HarryLimeFoxtrot · 03/11/2015 22:11

Based on your criteria, I'd go for Madeleine.

I think Imogen is already having a popularity spike and might indicate 'born around 2015' in the future.

SoftSheen · 03/11/2015 22:09

Imogen is VERY popular.

I prefer Madeleine from your list.

Thanks poppy. Imogen is Shakespearean, if that makes it 'classic'..?

I'm not sure how Classic it is, but I'd choose Imogen from your list.
