Although certain girl names have a decidedly dated image to them (at least by my and some other’s standards), there are certain girl names that I’ll forever consider to be suitable for small girls and old ladies. They’re usually short and cutesy in nature, very nickname-able, and typically have an innocent aura about them that breathes renewed life into them in every successive generation. names that fit the criteria of what I’m describing include:
-Amelia.
-Abigail; including “Abby.”
-Allison.
-Ann/Anne/Anna.
-Angelina; including Angeline & Angelique.
-Beatrice.
-Belle/Bella.
-Bridget/Bridgette.
-Chloe.
-Christa.
-Charlotte.
-Dolly.
-Delilah; including Deliah, Lilah/Lila/Lyla, etc.
-Eve/Eva.
-Elizabeth; including Eliza & Elsie.
-Grace.
-Galilee.
-Heidi; including Heidimarie.
-Hannah.
-Katrina.
-Kate/Katie.
-Lucy, including Lucie, Lucia Lucille, etc.
-Molly.
-Mona.
-Mary; including Maria, Marie, etc.
-Michelle.
-Naomi; including Noemi.
-Nichole; including Nikki/Nicki.
-Olivia.
-Polly.
-Priscilla.
-Phoebe.
-Penelope.
-Rebecca.
-Sarah.
-Sophia.
-Sidney/Sydney.
-Victoria.
That’s all I can think of for now. If there’s anyone else who knows names with a similar vibe, please share them below! One of the most appealing aspects of a name is its longevity across time and generations, after all.

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] I can see as gorgeous timeless names! It’s why I use the names for a few of my characters (Felicity Cyrus; [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] Hollingsworth; [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] Young). Laura’s a nice name too, but it gives slightly older vibes than the others. Same goes for [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], but its nickname form ‘Kitty’ is endlessly adorable!

Nice list. Some other names I think might fit your criteria are:
[name_f]Lena[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f]
Clara/Claire
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
I don’t know where you are, I’m in the US and these names might be badly dated somewhere else, I don’t know.
