Old fashioned

[Idontlikeunicorns]

Looking for old fashioned girls and boys names that aren’t too common. We like old school traditional names but I know this is very ‘trendy’ atm so don’t want them to be too common (happy with top 50/100 but not top 20) TIA

Beatrice
Dorothea

Quentin
Edmund

Theodora
Edwina
Edith
Ethel
Joy
Patience
April
Celeste

Enid
Alma
Audrey
Helen

Reginald
Stanley
Richard
Ernest
Wilfred
Sidney
Walter

How about Jasper, Silas, Owen, Warren for boys and Scarlet, Lillian, Amelia, Nora, Blanche, Della, Effie, Ida for Girls.

Agnes
Vera
Veronica
Margaret
Caroline
Audrey
Rosemary
Ada
Irene

Benedict
Abraham (Abe)

My daughter’s name has made an appearance :) I like Ada...can it be short for anything? I find it too short for a stand alone name.
I like Edmund and Jasper was on our list first time around. I find boys names really hard!

Vivienne
Margot
Delia
Lillian
Cecelia
Francesca

Arthur
James
Bertie

Dulcie
Robert

Clarice,
Hope,
Faith,

Charity,

Rosemary,
Rose,

Rebecca,
Ruth,
Rachel

Ernest,
Samuel,

Adeline could maybe be shortened to Ada or Adelaide I know the start sound is different but i think it could work

Paul
Joseph
Gabriel
David
Seth
Peter
Edmund
Donald
John
Thomas
Wilfred
Walter
Archibald
Eric
Adam
Bernard

If you’re talking about Eurocentric, Christian names(?) the names of the virtues are always good value:
Charity
Hope
Patience etc etc
Temperance, shortened to Tempe is my favourite

Then basically all of Queen Victoria’s children’s names, and all the names of every royal house member in Christendom.

Jared, Florian, Silas, Jasper, Edward, Tobias, Albert, Pip, or any name from Dickens

Names from Shakespeare.

Caesar, Darius, Philippe, Maximillian, Helder, Olaf may be a bit too much?!

I'm thinking of Jean for my bump if it's a girl but can't decide if it's a step too far (although seeing some of the names on here, it feels pretty tame)
