[Opinions] Elegant
Could you give me some examples of names you consider elegant for boys and girls. I know your thinking elegant for a boy? However, I mean names that are elegant, sophisticated, classy and possibly poetic sounding for boys and girls. I think Gabriel, Julian, Tristan and Sebastian fit this category for boys. And for girls Charlotte, Madelyn, Violet and Elizabeth for girls. Everyone has different views and name choices. These are the only ones I can think of. These are the kind of names I like. So I was hoping for more suggestionsI would like to know the names you feel fit in this style. That way I could add them to my personal names list. Please list as many as you can think of. Thank you so much for your opinions.

LouisTo me, Madelyn and Violet are not "elegant." Madeline & variants are more modest-seeming to me, and Violet is a "floral" style-name, not an elegant one (I like both of those names a lot, anyways - elegant isn't really my own style).

I may have included some you mentioned. All those I agree with. However, not everything here is something I would use, personally.
