I do adore my share of classical names, but lately it seems the names [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] and others are beginning to get extremly popular and overused. Usually popularity doesn’t bother me, and I’ll continue to love a name. Such as the name [name_f]Emma[/name_f], it was great, great aunt’s name and I’ve always wanted to name my daughter that for her, until I go out and hear thousands of parent’s calling for their [name_f]Emma[/name_f]'s. I was wondering if there was still a few undiscovered vintage names that I could possibly fall in love with, list anything that you can think of! 
Some less popular classic names:
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Marsha[/name_f] / [name_f]Marcia[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcella[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcellina[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Mandie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Loretta[/name_f]
[name_f]Trudy[/name_f]
[name_f]Doris[/name_f]
[name_f]Wendy[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]

[name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Beth[/name_f]

[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Regina[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Silvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is gaining popularity because it’s the ‘new’ [name_f]Emma[/name_f], but I’ll still suggest it.
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is a name a lot of people seem to like, but few actually use.
Some other ideas:
[name_f]Bessie[/name_f] or [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f], [name_f]Ina[/name_f], [name_f]Lula[/name_f], [name_f]Blanche[/name_f], [name_f]Dora[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Nancy[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f], [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]/[name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Estella[/name_f], [name_u]Marion[/name_u], [name_u]Josie[/name_u], [name_f]Mayme[/name_f]/[name_f]Mamie[/name_f], [name_f]Lois[/name_f], [name_f]Eula[/name_f], [name_f]Ines[/name_f], [name_f]Bianca[/name_f], [name_f]Pauline[/name_f], [name_f]Maxine[/name_f], [name_f]Roxanna[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].
It’s getting more and more challenging to come up with a unique name from vintage lists… it’s such a popular trend now.

Analucille - I love [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]! It’s been one of my favorite names, but I’m scared that it’ll be one of the top names in a few years.
Alexa400 - Loving [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Francesca[/name_f], [name_f]Patience[/name_f], & [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]. I think [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] is dashing, though would it be too old fashioned for a little girl?
Mimiottawa - I would love to meet a little [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], though I don’t know if it would be for me. As I was reading your list I saw [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] and I kind of got excited because I adore that name!! I just can’t get anybody on board with it.
Lis09 - I find [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], and [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] so dazzling from your list!
Jamee29 - I know [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] is very popular, but I haven’t met any! It’s defiantly upon my list.
Blairedoll - [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is a very beautiful name, I do agree with you there. You listed a few of my favorites! [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f], & [name_f]Helena[/name_f]. Though I didn’t have [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] nor [name_f]Elena[/name_f] on my list, they’re both lovely names.
I personally would love to me a little [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], but to ‘modernize’ it you could use the nickname [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
There are many ways to discover these not overused classical names. Some of my ideas are below:
Botanical names - like [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]…
Gems: [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Beryl[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]…
Virtues&co: [name_f]Hope[/name_f], [name_f]Patience[/name_f], [name_f]Prudence[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]…
from Ancient Greece & [name_m]Rome[/name_m]: [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]…
biblical ones: [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_f]Dina[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]

By the way, I love your name choices! I hope my list helps you.
[name_u]Yael[/name_u] - From your list I adore [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f], [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. The only problem with [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] is the story in the Bible. 
I just wanted to add that I love your children’s names! They fit so well together!
Merrybells - You’ve listed so many of my favorites, and thank you for the compliment, it’s always nice to hear my ideas aren’t ‘crazy’ 
I find [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Edward[/name_m] (Though now worried about the sparkling vampire) [name_m]Philip[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] & [name_m]Henry[/name_m] all so beautiful. Most of those are popular on charts, but where I live they’re so underused and rare!
