Names that don't date

[CuckooClockWorkOrange]

I can think of Rachel, Kate, Anna and Sarah
Maybe Beth?

dd is Louisa
I know Louisa's of all ages (well know of them)

bloody hell

What about Claire/Clare?

Perhaps Peter, John & Paul

I know three generations, all of which contain a Christopher.

George?

Agree with James, i know James' of all ages too

What about Georgina

I don't know any young Mary's ...

Lucy
Rebecca
Sarah
Kate
Katherine (and all varients)
Elizabeth
Rachel
Louise
Charlotte
Amy
Laura

James
Thomas
Luke
Ben
Sam
Daniel
Jack
Joseph

I don't know any child named Rachel.

I don't know anyone under 25 or over 45 called Rachel.

I know both kinds of Rachel, & some young Marys too...

Sarah's are all 30 and over though...

Classics are in either bible, bronte, or austin.
Which did prove my point about the name Malachy (that I love) to my DH who wanted a classic name.
We argued about it for 1st son. Who isnt called Malachy now due to parental difference of opinion.

Stick to the names of the queens of England

My dd2 is Rachel, and she's 4!

We know two others.

dd1 id Katherine, also pretty timeless IMO.

Having taught several Dianas and Kylies/Charlenes in the early 1990s (secondary school) I was determined to have undateable names.

DD's middle name is Mary. I do agree with whoever said that a lot of these names were fashionable but had wilderness years before coming back round again.

My vote would be Elizabeth for a girl and James for a boy as the number one non-dating names.

Rachel is one of the most popular names for girls in Ireland. #6 in 2002, the year that most of the children in my dc1's class were born. There are two in my DC1's class, and one in the class above. My cousin also has one.

Strange for a classic English name to 'rank' so differently in Ireland from in UK.
