I like Rachel the best. It's not dated but it isnt so trendy that she will be one of many. It's a good name.

All lovely names, and are not dated. More classic than dated.

Amelia is so over popular that it's one of the names we discounted. Gorgeous name just very in at the moment. I like Georgia and Rachel. Both are very classic names that you hear less often for babies. I have an 8 month old and haven't met another girl with those names yet. Maxine is quite retro but not in the same nice way.

Rachel Maxine
Georgia Amy
Amelia Maxine.
Are all gorgeous combinations

To me Maxine sounds 80s, but the rest are good.

Line 4.amendment
The others are lovely but dated

Rachel is lovely, retro rather than dated darling Grin

Well Amelia certainly isn't dated.
It is as you know very popular but Its not faddy.

The others are but yes dated However where does it say 'Dated is a bad thing. Do you want her to one of 3 Amelias in her class
It depends what what bothers you more popularity or datedness

Rachel is a lovely name you don't hear it too often these day's same for Maxine good strong name
Georgia is lovely you'll probably get a few saying it's had its day but I feel it's timeless just think of the classic songs that would have her name!
Amy is OK prefer Aimee spelling...
Amelia is far too popular sweet enough though
