Old fashioned Names vs. Good and vs. Bad

I’d really like to use a more old-fashioned name, but I don’t want something that is too dated. I noticed that a lot of old-fashioned names are becoming more popular now. I was wondering if you could suggest some old-fashioned names that are in style and some that still sound too old-fashioned. We are keeping the gender a surprise, so we don’t know what we a re having. Thank you for your comments!

I just don’t want to use something that is not charming. Some old fashioned names still don’t sound good to people, so I’m just wondering if there are any you really dislike. -Poster

It seems we have the very similar taste in names - both of my childrens names (Susannah and Henry) are on your like list! I am also considering several of the names on your list for baby #3 :-)
