Our first baby girl we named [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. We love the name and it fits her sweet, kind, girly personality to a T, but we wouldn’t have chosen it if we knew it would be so popular. This time around we want to find a name just as classic and feminine without being so popular. No [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f], or [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]… as they are pretty, but too popular. So far our favorites are [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. Does anyone else have equally pretty, classic, and not-as-popular names?
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is a beautiful name! We have 4 sons and it has been our top pick for the last 7 years and now that I am finally due with a daughter next month we can’t use it due to the popularity. As a [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] (also a popular classic) I cannot do it.
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is beautiful but popular where we live (Southern US). I have a friend who has 4 daughters with classic names. Their third is [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and strikes me as more unique than her sisters [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. My sisters are [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], and while [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] is pretty popular, [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] may be a bit more unique. [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] is another option that I think is lovely.
I’m sorry I can’t be more help… I am due in a month and we still don’t have a name 
All the classic ones that fit my tastes ([name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], etc) are far to popular for me to be ok with and the other side of my style (southern preppy family surnames which all our boys follow) we can’t find just the right name.
Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!
A lot of the beautiful classics are getting more and more popular. [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] are getting more popular but not top 10! [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] are just outside the top 100. I really like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], though!
Your daughter will not be one of ten in her classroom. I like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] or [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] are the same name.
The nice thing about [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is there are few popular names from it or associated with it.
It seems to me that you might be looking more at vintage and antique names than at classic names. Is [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] a classic? Is [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]? [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]? No. They are vintage and antique names. [name_m]Just[/name_m] because vintage names are trendy right now doesn’t mean they’re classic.
Is [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] outside of the top 10? Yes. But what about [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]/[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]? [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]? [name_f]Elise[/name_f]? [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]? [name_f]Ella[/name_f]? [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]? [name_m]Even[/name_m] [name_f]Elle[/name_f] is being used as a standalone name. I even know an [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] and an [name_u]Ellison[/name_u] (girl). Not to mention 2 boys under 3 named [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] and 2 named [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. To me, all ‘[name_f]El[/name_f]’ names add up to white noise at the moment. She will be one of a handful of “[name_f]El[/name_f]” names in her class.
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] - [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] (I know two newborns with this name), [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Cate[/name_f], [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f], [name_f]Katelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Katrina[/name_f], etc. When you add these up it’s extremely popular and she won’t be alone in her class as a [name_f]Kat[/name_f] or [name_f]Kate[/name_f] or [name_f]Katherine[/name_f].
That leaves [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. All these names are rising in popularity because of the vintage trend.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] - I think that [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] isn’t regal sounding enough (and it isn’t a classic).
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] - they are too similar.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] - too similar for my liking but they sound good.
Suggestions:
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Helen[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Maude[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Virginia[/name_f]
I think that ‘classic’ is usually what I would find in a [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] type novel. [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is a name I’ve never been able to get into, and I would consider it to be vintage but not classic. [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] I find too close to [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is different style entirely.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] are the same classical style, but [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is significantly less popular nowadays (well, it is where I live). I also think that [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is versitile enough for her to have an unusual nickname, like [name_f]Kitty[/name_f].
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] also suit very well, as both are classic but on a comeback (while I believe [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] has become a bit dated). This is my favourite of your choices.

Thank you for taking time and giving your suggestions! it helps a lot!
Thank you for taking time and giving your suggestions!
My nieces are [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and I think those work really well together. I like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] best from your list-- it’s another classic.
Some other possibilities:
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]

[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
My favorites are [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], though [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is also a feminization of [name_m]Charles[/name_m], so maybe too close to [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. (Sorry if that’s been said.) [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] I think is getting more popular, but I think it’s perfect with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the idea of [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] that I saw. Other thoughts: [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. (I know these are not classics by definition, just thought they might work for you and with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].) good luck!
Adding Celia, Cecily, Rose, Lucy, and Meredith. 
I think [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is so pretty.
Some classics but not too popular are:
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Barbara[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f] & [name_f]Marcella[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a small few that came to mind.
I love [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. So pretty. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] have a lot of different sounds in them so I don’t think they are necessarily too similar.

I think [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] have been the best suggestions so far.

[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
