Classic girls names Alice? Elizabeth?

[kenandbarbie]

There are loads of boys names that are always popular, in the top 100 and don't date. William, James, Edward, Thomas etc

I can't think of many girls names. Most seem to go in and out of fashion more. Suggestions?

Charlotte

Catherine?

Emily

Anna

My daughter is Elizabeth Alice. I also have a James. I feel this is the thread for me

Other girls names we considered:

Emily
Charlotte
Martha (though not sure I'd put this in the classic category)
Hester

Mary
pretty, short, classic.

List of girls names that have always been in the top 1000 since 1882 (in the US).

nameberry.com/list/354/Girl-Names-ALWAYS-in-the-Top-1000?all=1

Can anyone find a uk list like that?

Although, now people are suggesting them I see there's actually loads!!!!

Mary
Judith
Margaret
Mary-Anne
Jane
Ann/e
Sarah
Janet
Hannah
Rachel
Rebecca
Margery
Marion
Elspeth
Agnes
Jean
Catherine
Susanna

They’re old names anyway. You are right that they come and go in fashion.

Emma
Iris

Charlotte
Eleanor

I love classic names, I’m pregnant and my list is very classic!

Alexandra
Lucinda
Victoria
Josephine

I picked two classic names too (boy/girl). I like that they are timeless.

I would say Charlotte, Emma, Elizabeth, Catherine, Alice are particular classics.

Just open a Jane Austen novel and take your pick!

Lucy. Jessica. Kate. Rose. Molly. Olivia Grace. Florence. Beatrice. Megan

İsabelle. Lydia. Amelia. Dorothy. Martha.
Alexandra. Leah. Violet. Aimee. Erin

Charlotte is a beautiful name.

Whenever I meet an Alice, a little voice in my head says, "Alice! Who the fuck is Alice?"

Grace

I didn't think that Sarah went in and out of fashion but I noticed on another thread recently somebody described it as dated.

I think Sarah, Rachel, Anna and Jane never go out of fashion. I cannot say that any of those names are more likely to be a certain age

Just open a Jane Austen novel and take your pick!

I suspect Fanny will never enjoy a renaissance.

Emily
Anna
Rebecca
Charlotte
Catherine
Beatrice
Florence
Harriet
Eleanor
Jane
Hope
Grace
Rose
Lucy
Henrietta
Imogen
Tess
Susanah
Felicity
Thea

I think Sarah, Rachel, Anna and Jane never go out of fashion. I cannot say that any of those names are more likely to be a certain age

REALLY

I have worked with under 5s for 13 years. I have met one little Anna. Never a little Jane, Sarah or Rachel! To me they are 30+ Rachel and Sarah, 40+ Jane.

My name gets mentioned a lot on these threads!

I’d say

Emma
Rebecca
Victoria
Catherine
Beatrice
Tabitha
Lucy
Anne
Phillipa
Mary
Charlotte

I agree about Sarah, Jane and Rachel not being in fashion now. But I know quite a few Anna's under the age of 16 or so.

I know a 25 year old Anna, and a Sarah who’s around 28. None younger.

There are two girl's names which have been in the England and Wales top 100 every year since the lists began, they are Elizabeth and Sarah.
