[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!
What are some names that fit the vibes of classic and traditional?
Something that has stood the test of time, and has a sensible yet slightly old-timey feel to it - but still able to be used in the modern day.
Some of my favorites for this are [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] “Kate” and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], but I’d love to hear more suggestions. Something that wouldn’t feel out of place 100 years ago, but wouldn’t be shocking or obviously dated today.
Bonus points if there are [name_u]Saint[/name_u] connections and Biblical connections.
Thank you all so much!
