The only vaguely timeless one on the list is Alice.

Every single other one of those names will date to the current era, in the exact same way that Joanne, Sarah, Rachel, Karen, Nicola, Angela, et al date to my era.

You may have only gone to school with one of those girls, but you all know that those names are very dated to a certain era.

Alice

The rest are very nice & pretty but too popular for my liking. Could tell you about 3 girls of each name in DC's school/clubs.

Daisy is only name I only know of one but it's too twee for me.

I think that Alice, Sophia, Grace and to some extent, Daisy (nn for Margaret), have a timeless appeal. Sophia is overused as a first name and Grace as a middle name, which puts me off them. Daisy falls into the flower name trend.

I don't like Ava at all. Isla is pretty but will date.

Ava, Grace, Isla - these are really overused, and all really date to this era.

Daisy I like, but it’s not a very substantial name. If you love it though, go for it! I know a very elegant Daisy and it really suits her. It can work.

Alice I really dislike - seems so prissy and I don’t like Al for a girl (or anyone really!)

My choice wouldn’t be Sophia, which is also overused and dated to now, but the much simpler and more classic Sophie - which kind of has the same pretty light feel as Daisy in a way.

Alice by far!! (Although I'm biased as that's what we're planning on naming our DD).
