Re: What are the criterion of timeless name?
It's definitely subjective, depending on a person's culture and history. A name can be trendy AND timeless at the same time, which is confusing! Like Helen, or Emma, or Noah, or Arthur. For me a timeless name is not necessarily a name that could be from any time period (but sometimes it can be), but one that works on a person at any age. If I see a name and can't guess a person's age or generation right away, it's timeless.
