[Opinions] Truly timeless names
What are some names that you think of as truly timeless? As in, if you saw that name written down, you wouldn't be able to guess the age of the bearer.
A few I can think of off the top of my head are:
Anna
Elizabeth
James
William
LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
- Shel Silverstein
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

Anna is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of a timeless name.
I tend to think more of Greek and Roman names rather than Biblical ones when I think "timeless" so to me that means:
Anna
Julia
Julius
Helen or Helena
Cassandra
Victoria
Zoe
Sophia
Marcus
Hector
Philip
Alexander

I like to think my name(Katherine) is pretty timeless. That is why my mom chose it. I would call Joseph pretty timeless. The six truly timeless names(ones when you can’t guess their age at all) in my opinion are James, William, Joseph, Elizabeth, Anna, and Catherine. Those people could have born in Tudor times, the 1800s, during World War II or today. John has also always been in Top 30 where I live, and Mary the Top 150, so I would also call those pretty timeless.
A few that I would say are pretty classic as well.
