You know that classic diamond ring...the solitaire.

Other trends come and go but the solitaire will always be the safe and stable choice that will never go out of fashion.

What baby names are like a solitaire?

Classic, timeless, elegant and always in fashion.

Thanks

The true classics aren't fashionable (a bit like, in clothing terms, the difference between fashion and style)

My guesses are:

Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, Alexandra, Isabella, Eleanor, Anne, Catherine

John, James, Alexander, Charles, Mark, Richard, Robert, Michael, Peter, Stephen
