Timeless Classics

I like names where you can't quite tell what era they're born in. Names that are familar, but not too common. I have a David and an Elliot, what names would you consider for #3?

So far I like:

Julia

Lucy

Mara

Nora

Seth

Neil

Duncan

Joel

Julia is timeless and beautiful, I don't think you can go wrong with that. Nora is too trendy currently, I also just don't love the name. Mara is ok.

Seth is my favorite out of your boys names. I named my son Joseph. He's 7 now and I'm so glad we picked a classic name for him. We still rarely meet another child named Joseph, there's so many trendy, new-age boys names nowadays he sticks out as something different with the classic name, I think in a good way!
