[name]Just[/name] curious what your favorite underused classic and vintage names are! Names that are timeless yet seem to be forgotten. I am curious if I missed any I should consider and add to my list.

From [name]Ottilie[/name]'s list I like [name]Blanche[/name], [name]Gillian[/name], [name]Heloise[/name], [name]Lois[/name]. I love [name]Vanessa[/name]. Unfortunately, [name]Blanche[/name] is my hubby’s grandmother’s name and she wasn’t type of grandmother would you name your children after. I might be able to mention [name]Gillian[/name], [name]Heloise[/name] and [name]Vanessa[/name] to my hubby. Not sure if I prefer [name]Gillian[/name] with the hard G (love the nn [name]Gillie[/name]), or [name]Jillian[/name], which I am sure will remind my hubby of [name]Jillian[/name] [name]Anderson[/name]. [name]Lois[/name] is a no-go because he will just say it reminds of The Family [name]Guy[/name].
From dcbklyn’s list I like [name]Helen[/name], but it is unfortunately quite common and middle aged where I live. I also like [name]Ida[/name], but it unfortunately reminds me of a unpleasant elderly lady I had to deal with in the past. [name]Sybil[/name] is interesting and I am surprised it is not more popular!
The lovely Miss [name]Anderson[/name] spells it with a G, [name]Kitty[/name]!
What about [name]Margaret[/name]? Maybe it’s not truly underused…
Lol. Well then, either way it will end up him reminding him of her then. Haha. [name]Will[/name] have to see what he says. 
I like [name]Margaret[/name] but prefer [name]Marguerite[/name]. 
We have a french last name so [name]Marguerite[/name] might look better.
[name]Roberta[/name] and [name]Ramona[/name], and maybe [name]Alexandra[/name] too? These are three on my list though [name]Alexandra[/name] is in the mn spot.

Sorry, I may have got a little carried away there 
Not sure how many of these would be considered truly classic but I feel that they are, so.
I was just having the [name]Margaret[/name] vs [name]Marguerite[/name] debate in my head! [name]Marguerite[/name] is so chic!
I’m not sure which or if any of these are ready for a revival, but:
[name]Ermengard[/name], [name]Marjorie[/name]/[name]Margery[/name], [name]Hildegard[/name], [name]Bernice[/name], [name]Ingrid[/name], [name]Enid[/name], [name]Wilhelmina[/name], [name]Nell[/name]/[name]Nella[/name], [name]Ilene[/name], [name]Hyacinth[/name], [name]Roberta[/name], [name]Myrtle[/name], [name]Myrna[/name], [name]Nancy[/name], [name]Joyce[/name], [name]Lisette[/name], [name]Constance[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Marian[/name], [name]Leona[/name], [name]Maxine[/name], [name]Selma[/name], [name]Dolores[/name], [name]Opal[/name], [name]Kitty[/name], [name]Inez[/name]/[name]Ines[/name]/[name]Agnes[/name], [name]Zelda[/name], [name]Zora[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] - I like this name, it grew on me.
[name]Adeline[/name] - Prefer [name]Adelaide[/name].
[name]Annika[/name] - We have a male friend named Anik, and wouldn’t want to name our daughter after him.
[name]Aurelia[/name] - We have a pedophile in our town named [name]Aurel[/name], and it is also my hubby’s uncle’s name. Unusable.
[name]Bethany[/name] - I love [name]Bethany[/name], but have [name]Elizabeth[/name] nn [name]Beth[/name] on my list which I love more.
[name]Bryony[/name]/[name]Briony[/name] - Ohhhh, pretty.
[name]Clara[/name] - Already on my list. [name]Love[/name] it!
[name]Coraline[/name] - Also on my list.
[name]Daphne[/name] - Can’t get passed the “daffy” part of the name, but I like it otherwise.
[name]Elise[/name] - I like [name]Elise[/name], but don’t love it.
[name]Eloise[/name] - Hubby doesn’t like it and has a hard time pronouncing it. 
[name]Evangeline[/name] - Like the sound but don’t like the meaning.
[name]Felicity[/name] - Was thinking about adding [name]Felicity[/name] to my list, but I have already used [name]Serenity[/name], and one virtue name is enough.
[name]Genevieve[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name], its already on my list.
[name]Hazel[/name] - [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Luther[/name] kind of sound good together don’t they?
[name]Heather[/name] - This is one of my all time favorite names. Hubby doesn’t like it.
[name]Helena[/name] - On my list already
[name]Julia[/name] - My mom almost named me [name]Julia[/name]/[name]Juliet[/name]. I like it [name]Juliet[/name] the most.
[name]Lydia[/name] - On my list.
[name]Matilda[/name] - Ditto.
[name]Meredith[/name] - Was on my list and took it off, not sure why.
[name]Nora[/name] - On my list.
[name]Philippa[/name] - My poor hubby’s uncle’s memory is going and he keeps thinking my son’s name is [name]Philippe[/name] (I have no idea why), having a daughter named [name]Philippa[/name] would confuse him so much it would be cruel. lol
[name]Rosalie[/name] - I like it.
[name]Tabitha[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Tabitha[/name], nn [name]Tabby[/name]. On my list already.
[name]Thalia[/name] - This name has been growing on me.
[name]Theresa[/name] - Can’t stand [name]Theresa[/name] sorry.
[name]Vivian[/name] - Growing on me, will mention it to hubby and see what he thinks.
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] - I love this name, but prefer [name]Winifred[/name] (family name)
[name]Abram[/name] - I like [name]Bram[/name].
[name]Alan[/name] - Hubby’s name is [name]Alain[/name], [name]Alan[/name] would be just be confusing.
[name]Arthur[/name] - On my list!
[name]Asa[/name] - NMS
[name]August[/name] - On my list, crushing hard on it lately.
[name]Avery[/name] - I love [name]Avery[/name] either on a boy or girl, but too trendy for my taste.
[name]Barnaby[/name] - I like it, but wouldn’t use it.
[name]Benedict[/name] - Too biblical. Prefer [name]Bennett[/name].
[name]Byron[/name] - My uncle’s name.
[name]Colin[/name] - Hubby has a friend named [name]Colin[/name], it would be too weird.
[name]Dominic[/name] - Loved this name when I was a little girl. Still like it, but not nearly as much.
[name]Edmond[/name] - [name]Edward[/name] is a family name, but I also really like [name]Edmond[/name].

[name]Hugo[/name] - Gonna add it!

[name]Maximilian[/name] - Prefer [name]Maximus[/name].
[name]Miles[/name] - On my list already
[name]Nathaniel[/name] - Too popular, don’t see the appeal.
[name]Patrick[/name] - Uck. Sorry.

[name]Xavier[/name] - On my list already.
[name]Love[/name]…
