In your opinion is the name Ivy a classic, or trendy? Do you think it will eventually sound dated?

Classic, but it definitely waxes and wanes. Plus all the babies named Eve/Eva/Ava/Evelyn in the past few years take away from its freshness a bit. I think it will stand the test of time, though.

Both, it's the hot take of the moment for a classic name

Both? I do think it will eventually become dated, but it would first have to start enjoying more use.

It's beautiful classic because of ivy plants.

Most classics sound dated at some point, there are only very few exceptions. The difference is that they come back after a while, usually.
Ivy is a classic, yes. But it will definitely sound dated, it has all of the trendy sounds.
In 20-30 years it will sound like Amanda, Stephanie or Susan do now. Dated, but with the potential to come back.

I want to say it's classic but it really feels more modern. Eventually dated? Probably.

Both. I think it's like Holly, Violet, Rosemary. It's always going to have appeal, but it's not Rose. Rose is maybe the only true classic flower name in the Western world imv; the rest are quaint, rare, trendy, or vintage-new.
So it might sound the same age as Nova, Ruby, Autumn, Luna, Rowan, Violet, Hazel, Lily for a while. I still like it.

I think it's both ...
It's not classical, but it is at least some classic, having been popular a hundred or more years ago, at least in the UK, from what I've read. But it's trendy right now along with other old-fashioned flower names like Lily and Violet and Hazel. I don't think it will sound any more dated in the future than it does now, and that's not very dated.

Neither. It's a modern usage, and subject to fashion - but hasn't really gone all the way out of style like a truly trendy name does, like say, Earline.
Yeah, I think it will seem dated. It depends a little bit on how popular it gets and for how long. Maybe about like Robin, Dawn, Amber, or Crystal? Maybe not that much, because even popular names don't get as *frequent* as they used to.
