Classic girls names

[threeinthebed]

Hi, I love classic names and have a long list of boys names, but a much shorter girls list. I'd love to hear your suggestions for classic/traditional girls names that won't date easily to add to my list. Thanks :)

Sorry Pink's dd!

Emma in Jane Austen may be many things but she's deffo not common.

Omg are you kidding me? just because she an aristocrat does not make emma uncommon(is that a word?). She a meddling little waynetta wannabe(austen not my bag,I am brontes all the way but think maybe going alightly off topic here!).
Our families are not overly fond of the name Phoebe either but they can bite me

Pmsl at Pink's anti-Austen rant on a name thread. :)

Hi, How about . . .
Daphne,
Catherine,
Justine,
Iris,
Ada,
Adelaide,
Ava,
Emmeline or
Viola.

All gorgeous (imo)!

My dd is called Eloise, she's the only one with that name in a school of 265. There are loads of tegans and megans (all spelt oddly)> I grew up being the only one in school with my name and in genereal it was a blessing. So lovely to be completely unique.
