    Classic, pretty and underused... which name ticks all the boxes???

    I am searching for the ideal combination of a classic, pretty, underused name that is suitable for both child and professional adult - not asking for much!!

    The following are my list of favorites but I have over thought them all so much I am more confused than ever!! Would love to get your opinions on the following (and if it helps I already have a son Charlie)

    Imogen
    Annabel (if not used by my sister first!)
    Fleur
    Freya
    Georgette

    Thanks in advance!!!

    Imogen - pretty and underused definitely, I wouldn't call it a classic but it's not rendy either, it's a fab choice. Although if you're in the UK by any chance, it's not underused at all! Lol.
    Annabel - Hmm I'm surprised how underused this still is in the US, again it's super popular in the UK, but in the US I'd say this name is the definition of classic, pretty and underused! The perfect choice for you, sounds great with Charlie and you have nn options Annie, Anna, Belle or Bella!
    Fleur - I have a soft spot for Fleur, though I find it a little difficult/strange to say. It's very pretty though and not even in the top 1000 so definitely underused.
    Freya - I find it hard to view this name as anything other than trendy now because it's so trendy here in the UK. I did love it at one point though so I guess if it wasn't so popular here I'd probably be more fond of it still. It's certainly not a classic though, it's a pretty unusual and quriky name.
    Georgette - I do like the female George names (Georgina, Georgiana, Georgia even Georgetta a little) but something about Georgette is just off to me. I don't like it. And it feels like it's trying too hard.

    Personally I'd choose Annabel for you but I also think Imogen and Fleur would make lovely choices! Good luck

    I think Imogen is the one that really hits all of your criteria. Fleur and Georgette are beautiful, but not necessarily "classic" here in the states. (Unless you are not in the states, then disregard this comment). Freya, while lovely, is definitely more mythological than classical, and then we have Annabel, which I also feel like hit's all of your criteria.

    I'd pick Imogen or Fleur! I love Annabelle but it's becoming overused and trendy.

    I love Imogen and Georgette!
    Annabel - pretty, works well with Charlie
    Fleur - doesn't really go with Charlie, and is maybe too French and not very understandable here
    Freya - too unusual to go with Charlie
