Thank you very much!

I like [name]Calla[/name] a lot, but I’m not the biggest fan of [name]Serena[/name] or [name]Diana[/name].

[name]How[/name] about these:
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Meredith[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Brooke[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Tess[/name]

[name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name], and [name]Evangeline[/name] have that whimsical quality I feel is “elegant, upper-class, lovely and sweet”. Also try:
[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Gisele[/name]
[name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]

[name]Calla[/name], [name]Serena[/name] and [name]Diana[/name] are all very sweet, classy names.

When I think upper class, I tend to think classic and Biblical (as well as properly spelled), though there are a few exceptions that just appear elegant. But, like most Berries, I tend to associate an ahead of the curve, classic naming style as elegant.

[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Bethany[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name] or [name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Katarina[/name]
[name]Catalina[/name]
[name]Rebecca[/name]
[name]Rachel[/name]
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Mira[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name]
Magdelena
[name]Agnes[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]One[/name] syllable virtue names like [name]Hope[/name], [name]Faith[/name] and [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name]

[name]Calla[/name] and [name]Diana[/name] are NMS, but are lovely. I like [name]Serena[/name] a lot, and it’s in the baby name sweetspot- well known but not very popular.

[name]Serena[/name] and [name]Diana[/name] are lovely. I view [name]Calla[/name] as more of a nickname.

[name]Clarissa[/name]
[name]Sabrina[/name]
[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Athena[/name]
[name]Claudia[/name]
[name]Veronica[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Julienne[/name]

I envision

[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Emma[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]

Also I really like [name]Diana[/name]. [name]Serena[/name] is just all right, and [name]Calla[/name] isn’t my style.

system · February 14, 2013, 5:59am

For me, names that absolutely exude class are…
[name]Ariadne[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
as well as any classic names like [name]Kathryn[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], etc.

I think [name]Serena[/name] best reflects what you’re looking for.

dreaminginthedark · February 14, 2013, 8:17am

[name]Calla[/name] is absolutely gorgeous… I love it! [name]Diana[/name] and [name]Serena[/name] are NMS at all.

[name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]

polka · February 14, 2013, 9:56am

I think [name]Diana[/name] sounds upper class. I love [name]Calla[/name], it sounds very fresh and a nice alternative to [name]Lily[/name]. I think [name]Serena[/name] sounds trashy and over used. Other upper class, lovely names:
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Isadora[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Winifred[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name]
