HelpRe: What Names Do You Consider Low Class?
in reply to a message by Puck
I think we could say the same thing for classic names. They're just as if not more aspirational than Diamond.

I would say that a criterion for classic names is that they transcend social barriers and don't have the pretense that they belong anywhere, specifically "above" others.
I have no problems picturing a Sarah or a Jonathan from a poor or rich background. They don't suggest any particular class to me since they're used so broadly on every level of society. I think that is also why it is never a bad choice to use a name like this, as such a name could never seem out-of-place.

"Out of place" names
I love seeing names like this. Is that just me? I get super excited when a name is completely unexpected.
