Definitely [name_f]Samantha[/name_f]!
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f], its my favorite name of all time
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f] for sure out of all of these!
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f], partially because its my name and I’m biased but also looking at the SSA data its the one that’s been in the top hundred the most recently so it feels a bit more timeless. [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] would be my second pick but I wouldn’t really consider it timeless, I just like it and want it to have a comeback.

[name_f]Amanda[/name_f].
I would say [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] is the most timeless to me because I’ve seen it in family trees far back. [name_f]Samantha[/name_f], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], and especially [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] give me millennial vibes, maybe because I’m a millennial and that’s when they’ve been used most recently. I think [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] is the least timeless of the list by a long shot

[name_f]Jessica[/name_f] 
[name_f]Amanda[/name_f] I would say is the most timeless - if I can recall it’s been on the SSA charts for a very long time - but my favorite on this list is definitely [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]
As a [name_f]Samantha[/name_f], please choose [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] or [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] lol
I think [name_f]Samantha[/name_f], [name_f]Amanda[/name_f], and [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] are all pretty classic names, but [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] feels less time-stamped to the ‘80s since it wasn’t quite as insanely popular during that decade as the other two.
These all feel very dated as “millennial” names to me. I’m a 90s baby and grew up with a lot of girls with these names. I would say [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] is the most “timeless” though. I’m not sure if data backs that up, but I think of the American [name_f]Girl[/name_f] doll [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] and it helps me envision the name on girls further back. All the others I can only imagine on a girl my age.
Choose [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] if you want [name_u]Sam[/name_u], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] if you want [name_u]Jess[/name_u], [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] if you want [name_u]Mandy[/name_u], [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] if you want [name_f]Jen[/name_f], and [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] if you want [name_u]Ash[/name_u]. None of those names (maybe except for Amanda) will ever get their full names. Also, they are all heavily dated to the 80s. There are names that were around the same time period that don’t feel as time stamped. How about…
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] “Kate”
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] “Bec”
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_u]Kelly[/name_u]
[name_u]Lindsay[/name_u]
[name_u]Allison[/name_u] “Ally”
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] “Steph”
[name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f]
[name_f]Amy[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_u]Erin[/name_u]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Christina[/name_f] “Chris” or “Tina”
[name_f]Kristen[/name_f]
[name_f]Megan[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] “Cass, Cassie”
[name_f]Danielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “Liz, Beth”
[name_u]Julie[/name_u]
[name_f]Angela[/name_f] “Ang, Angie”
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_u]Andrea[/name_u] “Andie”
[name_f]Jillian[/name_f] “Jill” - this is more timeless than 80’s but according to data, it was popular around that period, so was [name_f]Jill[/name_f].
[name_f]Jillian[/name_f] and [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] are definitely my favourites from this list!
Good luck!
