I saw someone earlier say that their style was “names you could picture on a large, upper-class family, who spend their summers in decaying castles with their two greyhounds.” That describes what I’m looking for PERFECTLY!
What girls names would you class as this style?
i found this blog entry interesting.
I find a lot of those names to be a little too out there for me.
I think [name]Eleanor[/name] is upper class. It’s my favorite, so maybe I’m partial.
I do love [name]Eleanor[/name]! It’s a shame it’s very popular in my area though 
I tend to think [name]Clarissa[/name], [name]Edith[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Cordelia[/name], and [name]Sybil[/name] are upper class. That’s what comes to mind, anyway.
Definetly [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Clara[/name], maybe [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Acacia[/name], and [name]Arianna[/name].
My first thought is [name]Bronwyn[/name], this may come from the fact that I grew up in an area with a lot of upper class and serious Welsh influence…
[name]Brooke[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Bess[/name]
[name]Alexis[/name]
[name]Darcy[/name]
[name]Martha[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Morgan[/name]
[name]Hadley[/name]
[name]Paige[/name]
[name]Marjorie[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name]
Not sure how preppy your style runs, but you also have the nicknames: [name]Kitty[/name], [name]Bunny[/name], Bibby, [name]Buffy[/name], [name]Tisha[/name], [name]Candy[/name]…all little much for my taste, but they fit the “two greyhounds” description!
I like [name]Victoria[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] 
I would use [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Emily[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Alice[/name], or [name]Eleanor[/name]. I cant think of any others at the moment but I love this forum!
Hmm, what about:
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Georgiana[/name]
[name]Hilary[/name]
[name]India[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Kerensa[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Ottilie[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Philippa[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Serena[/name]
[name]Sibyl[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Zara[/name]
I love [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Ottilie[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name]!
Perhaps:
[name]Cosima[/name]
[name]Pandora[/name]
[name]Araminta[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Cecelia[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name]
Franchesca
And then classic names with silly fluffy nicknames like ‘Bunty’ for [name]Elizabeth[/name].
I’ve heard that [name]Clementine[/name] isn’t restricted solely to the upper-class, at least in the UK. If an American family used it, and they were rich, I’d probably chalk it up to that upper-class eccentricity, though. 
[name]Georgiana[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Corinna[/name]
[name]Paulina[/name]
[name]Eliana[/name]
[name]Thomasina[/name]
Definitely [name]Victoria[/name].
[name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Catherine[/name] not with a K, [name]Gwendolyn[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Anastasia[/name], [name]Cornelia[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], Dinora.
Everyone is giving names that sound so … hip? definitely not decaying.

You have a point! Although perhaps if she’s naming modern day children, it works.
