Would those of you out there that are really into the classic names (non trendy) please give me a list of names that would fit that catagory. I always thought that most older names were considered classic and I have really gotten my eyes opened. I know that names such as Elizabeth, Catherine, and Anna would be considered classic. Even though I like those names I get tired of them because they are used so much. Could you help me with a list of names that would be considered Classic but less used and different. I agree with the trendy thing but some of those names are more interesting to me. I would really appreciate your help here. Some of you have done alot of research in this area and I would love to hear what you have to say. Thanks so much.

I think a very classic and classful name for a boy is Brandon or Charlie
And for a girl Katie or Jane.
