HelpRe: Agreeing on "Classics"
in reply to a message by Puck
It is fluid and subjective, as to what constitutes a classic, and that's exactly why, when I made my post, I didn't leave it up to the respondents to decide what a classic is. I wanted to know about names that I consider classic, otherwise, there was a good chance it would turn into a "What names do you hate?" thread rather than "We tend to like classics, yes, but are there any you're not wild about?", which was what I wanted.
FWIW, I agree with you about Victoria not really being a classic. If it were a classic, I never would have used it, as to me classic = BORING. Even a couple classic names that I do like, Katherine and Elizabeth, I consider to be likable but boring and would not use.
Yes, I named my son William, and think it's a nice enough sounding name, a masculine name, I do really like the nickname Will, but, yes, I also think that William = Bore City.
