I'm on the lookout for some classy girls names that aren't too popular.

So far i've compiled;

Cecilia
Cordelia
Mabel
Elizabeth
Harriet
Henrietta
Georgia
Juliet
Maria

I was just wondering what people thought of them and if you have any ideas, please share. Thanks!

Anna

Maria lovely and surprisingly underused I think.

ozzysocks · 26/06/2011 09:11

Laura is lovely

drfayray · 26/06/2011 09:52

My daughter has Cordelia as one of her names. She hates it.
Her name is Lakshme Miriam Cordelia: Lakshme after the Indian Goddess of Good Fortune (I am Indian) and the other two names her English father chose.

She is called Lucky by her friends. Grin

Anne
Christabel
Mary
Rachel

I would remove Georgia from your list TBH - its fine but I don't think it fits with your criteria. All others mentioned are lovely.

What does "classy' mean?

MsChanandlerBong · 27/06/2011 19:55

I would substitute Georgina for Georgia...

Prefer Celia or Cecily to Cecelia

Mabel is lovely

Alexandra but then I'm biased.

Seriously though it's at school, there was only one other in my school at primary and in secondary.

At university I didn't come across another in any of my classes.

At work I didn't come across any others in any of my jobs.

It's very classy and not at all popular.

"Mabel is lovely"

My elderly neighbour in her eighties is mortified that her middle name is Mabel. She hates it.

I do not understand the come back. Mabel is awful.
