Are these names timeless (think Cleo is probably not)? Which do you like/dislike? Other suggestions welcome :)

Alice
Anna
Cleo
Cassandra
Marina
Alexandra

I don’t mind if a name is popular now, but I would like to avoid names that are ONLY likely to be popular now, if that makes sense!

For example, if a woman here (Scotland) is called Kathryn/Mhairi/Mairi/Kirsty you can fairly reliably guess she was born in the ‘80s… would like to minimise that risk.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Marina was very popular in Europe a few decades back

I personally think Marina and Cassandra are a bit dated but Cleo sounds more trendy (and is my favourite on your list).

Other timeless/classic names IMO;

Charlotte
Eleanor
Lara
Clara
Gabriella/Gabriella
Lucy/Lucia
Naomi
Grace

Alice
anna

Are timeless from your list imo. I like marina but sounds a bit 80s to me (Melissa, Melanie in same vein). Cleo more modern. I’m not sure about Cassandra, I think 80s as it reminds me of only fools and horses (it was Cassandra wasn’t it?! Rodney’s wife).

also timeless to me…

Louisa
