Classic names, to me, have been used for centuries. Royal families use a lot of them, but examples from my family are Walter, Robert, Wilhelmina, Dorothy, Ruth, Maurice, etc.

Classic names can be dated if they are used a lot in one decade, but then seem to be 'forgotten' (not used) for a long time, so that the name becomes associated with a time period. Most trendy names fall into the dated category.
