hi everyone, I’m new to the forum! Me and my husband have started trying for our second child, and we already have a 3 year old called [name_f]Odelia[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. We find girls names pretty easy because we both have similar tastes, but we’re struggling to find some more that we really love with our daughters name. We’re looking for classic names/classic sounding names that aren’t very common.
Our list currently stands at:
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_u]Marian[/name_u]
[name_f]Maude[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudine[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Judith[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
We love them all but some of them we just can’t imagine actually using if we have another girl. A few of these names are getting popular where we live, too.
So, if any of you have any classic names that are underused, we would love to hear them!
I love classic names but, like you, don’t want them to be too popular so I’m just going to write out my ten firsts and ten middles lists. Some of them are becoming more popular which sucks but loads of them are fairly unknown which means I’m free to use them in the future (hopefully)
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]

[name_f]Thalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]

[name_f]Esme[/name_f] is a gorgeous name that ages well! I also love the vintage [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], the sweet [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], lovely [name_u]Marian[/name_u], and the Elegant [name_f]Colette[/name_f]. A few other names:

[name_f]Christine[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] (the opposite of trendy…at its lowest point of use since 1970, but [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is one of the most classic names imo)
[name_f]Odelia[/name_f] is stunning! [name_m]How[/name_m] do you pronounce it? (O-deal-ee-a? or O-[name_u]Del[/name_u]-ya or O-[name_u]Del[/name_u]-leah?) I think I may have just fallen in love with the name. I’d never seen it before, but, it’s stunning! And paired with [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. Wow.
