Classic Girls’ Names: The hottest choices now

Thank you for posting this! I love Ada,Alice,Cora,Eloise, Elsie, Esther, Hazel, and June. Some of these I will probably never use; but they are lovely. I think Ada, Alice and Eloise will always be top contenders. Familiar in my area but still different from Ava, Alyssa, and Ella.

I like this post! There are so many lovely girls classics that are underused. My favorites from this post are Alice, Cecilia, Daphne, Eloise and Genevieve. Elsie is very cute but too much of a nickname for me, but I can see why it is getting popular.
The one I would probably never use is Olive. It is cute, but not my style.
June would be a nice name, but it sounds so short with my one syllable last name. I would probably use Juniper with the nickname June.

Love eloide, Cecilia, Coral, and Genevieve. Am i the only one who thinks Alice is boring?

*Eloise

I love the name Olive, I had a great Aunt Olive who was a fabulous lady. I also love the name Cora, but always want to say Cora Beth thanks to the Waltons! I prefer Clara though, but that is another Great Aunt….I have so many Great Aunts with such wonderful names! May, Olive,Rose Marie, Clara, Josie, Jeanie and my Grandmothers are Mary Louise and Jewel and my Great Grandmother was Alice…. there is Also Thelma and Peggy and Margarets as well but they are not as fabulous as the rest

Elsie is my favorite here. I love the old nursery rhyme:
Elsie Marley is grown so fine
She won’t get up to feed the swine
But stays in bed til 8 or 9!
Lazy Elsie Marley.

Cora is my second favorite for a girl. Instead of Ada, I’ve grown to like Ida. I might like June more if it weren’t used as a nickname for Junior on my mom’s side of the family. My great-grandfather was Earl Junior, called June exclusively.

My favorites are Ada, Elsie and Olive.

I love Daphne! I think the new ABC family show ‘Switched At Birth’ has probably had more of an effect on the recent popularity of the name than the ‘Heroes’ character though.

I don’t think Eloise or Esther really have the star power that some of the other names on this list. I wish Alice and Daphne weren’t climbing so high.

so many of my favorites are on this this! Alice, June, and Cecilia are in my top 5. Love them, they sound so sweet to me.

Alice, Elsie, and Genevieve are all on my list! But I also like Daphne and Cora.

I really dislike the name Ada but I love the names Adeline and Adelina and I absolutely adore Ava.

Genevieve, Alice, Elodie, Eloise and Esther are all beautiful.

Also love Cecelia!

Agree with many of these! Love Alice, Cora, Elspeth, Genevieve and Daphne.

Elsie is so adorable! Alice is also a sentimental favorite of mine–it’s my late grandma’s name .

I love this style of names! My favorites here are Cecelia, Eloise, Elspeth (nn Elsie), and Olive.

Elspeth, to me, is a lovely tribute to my sister, Elizabeth. Olive is also a name used several times in my family tree, and I adore it.

GREAT LIST.

Love Alice, Cecelia, Cora, and Genevieve. June and Olive are cute.

So excited that I have an Eloise.

I don’t think there is one name on here I don’t like! My favorite is probably June – although Alice, Eloise, and Olive are all on my list as well!

I’m going to use Ada. I’ve always loved the name, and now I get a connection to Resident Evil.

My taste in names! I love Alice, Cecilia, Eloise and Elsie… but although they are becoming more popular, I would never describe them as “cool.”

I love ask of these!

Eloise is beautiful… Cora is just ugly and every cora i have ever met has been fat.
