These are my type of names! Old fashioned and traditional, but I think some of them are too dated to use now.

I'd use:

John, William, James, Thomas, Edward, Henry, Samuel and David

Anna, Elizabeth, Alice, Clara, Ella, Florence, Martha, Grace and Carrie (as a nick name for Caroline)



I like most of them, but some I don't like enough to actually use.
I would definitely use as a first name: Clara

I would use as a middle name: John, William, James, Joseph, Thomas, David, Henry, Robert, Mary, Grace, Laura, Cora, Annie, Sarah, Margaret, Elizabeth

I love many of the boy names, especially Joseph, Thomas and Henry.

The girl's list is nice as well, although some I really don't like. I absolutely love Alice, though, and I think Mary, Anna, Annie (I like it as a nickname), Clara, Florence and Laura are very pretty.
It's great how many of those names still show up on popular lists today! The really great names stand the test of time.

It would be quicker to list the few names I wouldn't use:

George, Frank, Harry, Louis, Fred, Joe, Walter
Minnie, Ida, Bertha, Clara, Florence, Cora
