both classic names · popular in the same decades
Eleanor Greek · traditionally "light," by association with Helen, though it began as the Occitan Alienor, its true root debated; queens of Aquitaine and England wore it, a First Lady dignified it, and the vintage revival returned it to the top tier. Nell, Ellie, and Nora wait inside
both classic names · popular in the same decades
Lydia Greek · "woman of Lydia," the kingdom in Asia Minor famed for its gold; in the New Testament a seller of purple cloth, the first European convert. A place name that became a steady Anglo classic with a fresh modern following

Melanie Greek · "black, dark," from melaina; two Roman saints carried it, France kept it alive, and Gone with the Wind's gentle Melanie introduced it to American parents. Soft, dusky, and warmer than its meaning
both classic names · popular in the same decades
Sophie Greek · "wisdom," in the French form that Germany, the Netherlands, and Britain all adopted as their own; for many families the friendlier, fully European face of Sophia. Complete on its own, no formal version required
both classic names · popular in the same decades

both classic names · popular in the same decades
Emma Germanic · "whole, universal," from the old root ermen; it began a thousand years ago as a short form of longer Ermen- names and has stood alone ever since, worn by medieval queens and Austen's heroine alike. About as classic as a girl name can get
both classic names · popular in the same decades
Amelia Germanic · traditionally "work," from the old root amal that also gives Amalia; long entangled with the unrelated Latin Emilia. An 18th-century royal favorite revived worldwide, a full classic that answers to Amy, Millie, and Mia
