So, maybe half or a little less? Most of those are what I consider my kind of guy names, only some of which I actually like. The girls list was easy too. I like a lot of those names, whether they are “too popular” or not, or “dated” or not.

I would use about 90% of these names. Most of them aren’t trendy and have a nice long history.

These are my favorites:
Boys: [name]William[/name], [name]David[/name], [name]George[/name], [name]Samuel[/name], [name]Walter[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Harold[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Emmett[/name]
Girls: [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Frances[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Edith[/name], [name]Clara[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name] (my #2 girls name), [name]Esther[/name], [name]Sylvia[/name] (my #1 girls name), [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Daisy[/name], [name]Iris[/name]
