Classic and Timeless Names

[name]Hi[/name] everyone,
I’m new here, but my name is [name]Leah[/name]. I’m a senior in high school, so I’m not pregnant or anything. But, I have to write a creative story for my AP English class, and could seriously use some help naming the characters. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

I need help naming the McAllister family. They are very well off, and their family has lived in the town for generations. They are almost like royality in the town. Therefore, I’m thinking that they would have picked names that are classic and timeless. I don’t think they would have payed attention to trends, or taken into account whether or not names were popular. Basically, I’m looking for classic and timeless names, with a bit of an upscale feel. The family consists of 7 people; the dad, the mom, and five children.

  1. Father - 57
  2. Mother - 56
    3.”[name]Son[/name] - 30
  3. Daughter - 28
  4. Daughter - 27
  5. [name]Son[/name] - 25
  6. [name]Son[/name] - 23

    The father is a lawyer, and the mother is a doctor. The entire family is very well educated. Also, the family had some strong religious ties, so names from the Bible might work.
    I was thinking about having the first son have the same name as the father, but with a different nickname.

    Thank you so much,
    [name]Leah[/name]
