Elizabeth/Isabel
in reply to a message by Caroline
I guess this is hard to define because what do you mean by "classic". For me, since my first language is English, I think, "What name could I have if I was transported in time to England in the 1500s, or really a lot of Europe?" Unfortunately this leaves out Charlotte, Caroline, and other names I think became more popular later on. Though, I still consider them classics. (Like I said, hard to define.)
I like Elizabeth or Isabel (more popular in some countries). I think Isabel (I know we are more used to Isabelle or Isabella, but this is the version I've seen on some sites. I'd have to check primary sources) is more classically beautiful, while Elizabeth has a regalness to it for obvious reasons.
Same name, different versions, so... I don't have to chose. ;)
