When you hear names like

Robert, David, Peter, James, Charles, Sarah, Katharine, Elizabeth, Mary

you cannot mentally assign an age to them - that's what a dateless name is!

Daniel is perfect. I couldn't hazard a guess at the age of a Daniel.

Daniel, Rachel, Anna.........

Charlotte I would immediately think. She's 12.
