I wouldn’t consider a name that went from out of the top 1000 to top 50 in 20 years timeless. Classic, maybe, but not timeless.

I could see this being used in any generation. It may spike a little now and then but it never disappears. To me, that’s timeless. I think we’re arguing semantics, here.

Yeah, it feels timeless to me too. I think it has that vibe because it was used pretty consistently in the late 19th/early 20th centuries, and I think it could suit someone of any age. That's how I decide if I'm going to think of a name as timeless.

I think I get what you mean.

It's one of those names that never seems totally out of place.
Even if it is not popular at the time.
