Hi

Looking for a nice classy girls name.

Popularity doesn’t bother me, but just looking for something classy and elegant.

I like Arabella and Charlotte.

My husband likes Emily and Sarah.

Any suggestions? And your thoughts about my current list?

Thanks everyone

going by work colleagues and my children's schoolmates (local secondary), Emily and Charlotte are two of the commonest girls' names in the UK for the last 35 years! Darcey is on a par with Chardonnay....

Fennella??? Some of this are utterly ridiculous 😂

Emily, Charlotte. Matilda. Florence. Elsie. Amelia. X

I always think of the Thomas the Tank train character names as classy.

Also saint names.

For a girl I really like Anna

Someone up thread mentioned Jocasta...that's a by word for a woman who has a sexual obsession with her son (Jocasta complex) so ...maybe avoid 😂😂

Sarah and Emily are boring imo. Some really good suggestions here bar Candida. I do know of a Fenella which makes me cringe every time I hear it. I'd be sticking with the like of Charlotte, Alexandra and Elizabeth - also really versatile for age appropriate nicknames.
