OP I agree that classic girl names are lovely (my DD has 2 for middle names) but you may want to think carefully if you don't want them to date. Alice/Charlotte/Hannah are very in vogue at the moment and are likely to date the child to the 00s and 10s.

Elizabeth
Victoria
Ann
Katherine
Ida
Jean
Esther
Ethel
Audrey
Lucy
Florence
Mable
Nancy

Philippa

I don't think Alice, Charlotte and Hannah are any more in Vogue than normal (imo) they haven't dated yet. Classic names do not date. The like's of Ruby and Evie will date very quickly...

Ruth
Rachel
Rebecca
Naomi
Sarah
Martha etc

Jane Austen names:
Elinor
Marianne
Jane
Anne
Lydia
Mary
Katherine/Kitty
Elizabeth

Who decides on the Discussions of the Day? Are they having a baby soon?

(and have they got pregnancy brain because it says "classic baby news" instead of "classic baby names")

Anyway to add my tuppence worth: Emma.

Cheyenne
Kalafornia
Kailey-Lee
Maddison

Thanks for these - some lovely suggestions :). I have been out for the day and am very surprised to come back to see this thread has made discussion of the day!

Some of these names are my love but can't use list as they are already used in my family or close circle of friends, such Alexandra, Elizabeth and Katherine, so you are definitely on the right track (not you WherecanIhaid . I also love Anna.

I'm not even sure if this fits my own criteria, but does anyone have any views on Elissa? Also, is it too close to Elizabeth (my DSIS's DD who we see a lot of).

Please keep them coming :)

Sorry - I mean some of these names are on my love but can't use list (metaphorically speaking as I don't really have a separate list for these!)

Whoever done the biblical names list missed out-
Phoebe

Matilda

Flora

Frieda

There are lot more from the Bible lol

Threeinthebed I think now we need a classic boys list too...! Some brilliant names on here. Do hope you find the 'one'

Not really hugely keen on Elissa...!

I didn't 'done' them - I 'did' them. :)

Not fond of Phoebe tbh.

Emma is lovely.

Not overly taken by Elissa tbh. How about Esther or Evelyn?

Flora
Louisa
Grace
Kitty
Eliza

Phoebe is my dds name{angry} and emma is common as muck imo
