I chose classic/old fashioned although my actual answer is old fashioned/classic and uncommon. Choosing a name that’s not super popular or trendy is very important to me. I love vintage names that are timeless, and not overused - for girls. For boys I do like some of the modern names as well, but nothing too trendy or overdone.

I should clarify that I voted for classic and not necessarily for old-fashioned. There are lots of old names that are classics but other old names that would not go over too well (think Bertha, Gertrude, etc). But classics like Elizabeth, Caroline, etc are still in good taste today.

Uncommon gmv, as a name that’s well used is one that would absolutely be scratched off my personal list

That said, there are a number of classic and old fashioned or vintage names that I would use since theyre pretty underused

Its not that I can’t see the appeal of several popular names, but I don’t get any "wow" factor from them because of how many others use them
