HelpRe: What is the most beautiful classic name for girls?
in reply to a message by Caroline
For me, Minnie. It is short but sweet as well. It is also timeless and unique.

Minnie? Timeless?
I really don't think you can call Minnie timeless. It had its heyday in the late 19th and early 20th century and then it disappeared very quickly.

Agree.
I'm afraid that Minnie does not meet my definition of "classic" as outlined below. A case of it not meeting the criteria regarding frequency of use. Nor is it in any way unique. As a matter of fact, if it were unique, that would bar it from being a classic. To be honest, I'm not on board with the contention that what is and isn't classic is "slippery" and open to interpretation. Words have meanings, and the word "classic" has one. I can't go along with "This name is classic because I like it and I say it is.". This is totally separate from opinions, which are subjective and to which everyone is entitled. A good example of that is your choice of Maria. I heartily dislike the name, but it is a classic.
