HelpRe: What is the most beautiful classic name for girls?
in reply to a message by astronomicon
Ha, no it wasn't inspired by nameberry but now I'm going to read today's blog. Usually I avoid it because their writing style dances on my nerves.
I asked the "classic" question partly so that I could get a sense of each person's definition of classic, because, as you said, it's so "slippery" :)

Ha! Ah, the world is full of coincidences like that :)
I must say, the nameberry blog post wasn't particularly enlightening.

Since I didn"t give a definition of what I think classic means in my initial response I will do so now. To me, classic is old, has a sound etymology, and has seen frequent use. I do see some names here designated as classics by users which I disagree are classics. The most common reason for my disagreement is that I don"t think the name has seen frequent enough use. I believe that Victoria meets all of those criteria, which is why it was my answer. If I'd given my daughter a name that doesn't, it would not have been my answer simply because it's the name of my daughter.
