Evelyn English · traditionally "wished-for child," from the Norman French Aveline, though the root is debated; a surname for centuries and once a boys' name in Britain, it settled into a soft vintage classic that has peaked twice, a century apart
both classic names · popular in the same decades
Victoria Latin · "victory," the Roman goddess who personified it; borne by the queen an entire era was named after, and a classic across the Spanish- and English-speaking worlds since. Grand in full, easy as Tori and Vicky

Camilla Latin · feminine of Camillus; meaning uncertain
both classic names · popular in the same decades
Valerie Latin · "strong, healthy," from valere, by way of the Roman Valeria and the French Valerie; a mid-century American favorite with a soft sound over a sturdy meaning. The accent dropped away; the Gallic polish stayed

both classic names · popular in the same decades
Clara Latin · "clear, bright, famous," from clarus; St. Clare of Assisi gave it saintly standing, and the Nutcracker's heroine dances under it every December. A vintage classic revived across Europe and the Americas alike
both classic names · popular in the same decades
Brother names
Oliver Latin · traditionally "olive tree," from the Old French Olivier, though scholars suspect a Norse or Germanic name beneath the Latin polish; a knight of the oldest French epics and a Dickens hero, lately the top boys' name across much of the English-speaking world
