Classical names not in vogue

[fluffymouse]

Currently expecting a dd

I hate the idea of dd being one of many with her name, so any names in the top 100 are out.

I'm looking for classical names that are not currently in vogue.

Examples of names I like (but dh doesn't) are:

Dorothy
Beatrice
Rebecca

Any suggestions?

Louisa
Caroline
Marianne
Christina
Samantha
Phillippa
Annette
Claire
Sarah
Helena

Iris
Ethel

marigold: was the question about whether certain names are due a revival?

The OP pertained to names that are classical but not currently on-trend.

While most of the names mentioned aren't very very popular (apart of Elizabeth and Florence), My children (5 and 8) have been in a class with a Ruth, Constance, Frances, Julia, Clementine, Christina and Marianne.

Louise is one of those names that are less used than they seem, it was every other girls middle name at school, I have a 13m Louise and was surprised to find how few (124) were registered last year.

Wow, that's hardly any Louise's ! And it is such a lovely name

I vote for -

Constance
Elizabeth
Frances
Jane
Prudence

I was at school with a Euphemia Clutterbuck; now there's a name due for a comeback.

Audrey

Marguerite

Veronica

Diana

Rosalind

I really like Dorothy, think Dotty would be a sweet nickname. Or even Dora.

Joan, Nora, Brenda, Audrey, Sylvia, Deborah, Caroline, Julia, Peggy, Doris, Marion, Myra, Bridget, Irene..... But whatever you choose, you can guarantee there'll be another one at school in 5 years. It's in the ether.

Audrey and Sylvia are already popular again

Rachel
Ruth
Caroline
Annie
Mary
Joanna
Roberta
Nicola
Jane
Sally

DD is Katharine "Kitty" Beatrice - she's the only one with those names we've ever come across

Maud
Helen
Monica
Ruth
Louise

Try the Baby Name Wizard site and look for anything that has a flattish graph!

I interpreted the OP to mean classical rather than classic, so I was thinking Clytemnestra, Electra etc!

Underused classics that are lovely:
Helena
Caroline
Louisa
Antonia
Dorothy
Theodora

There was a little girl on the television last night called Daphne.
It sounded quite nice.

Tricky.

Jane is hardly ever used anymore.

Or....

Veronica.

Marie.

Christine.

Judith

Emma

Does dh like any of these OP?!

Joanna and Susanna

Meredith

Cecile or Cecily?

Love Margot! Enid is great.

We have x2 boys. Had they been girls the names would have been Nora and Margot
