Truly Classic Girl Names
The most recent blog about Alice got me thinking about classic names. My naming style is definitely classic, perhaps with a slight twist. Right now I'm re-doing my girls' list, so I was wondering if you could list the names that you personally think truly embody the word "classic" - names that are not passing trends, but rather stand the test of time, are beautiful and feminine, age well, or whatever other definition for the word "classic" you have.
Thoughts? All comments and suggestions are appreciated.

pet peeves: nicknames as given names; unconventional spellings; masculine names on girls
not-so-guilty pleasures: five-syllable girls' names; virtue and nature names; over-the-top antique names for boys
(if i repeat name suggestions in a thread, it's because i like them! no apologies here for repeats of great names!)

Did you see the post name berry did last year on the names that have been on the SSA top 1000 list since 1880? they then also bucketed them by truly classic, more classic than thought etc - that should give a pretty comprehensive list.
