Vintage English names?

I have very specific taste…
Doesn’t have to meet all of these obviously but this is my ‘criteria’ / taste:

Vintage, classic, and timeless style
Established rather than trendy
Not overly modern or recently invented
Not trendy, but still familiar
Easy to spell and pronounce
Works well at all ages, from childhood through adulthood
Not overly nickname-like as a full legal name
Prefer names that feel enduring rather than fashionable
Open to a range of origins, but generally drawn more to english names
Not looking for highly unusual or deliberately unique spellings

My name is already uncommon, as well as a weird spelling so don’t want to put that on my children as no one can pronounce it just by reading it😆

Examples of ones already on my list:
Boys:
Edmund
Frederick
Alistair
Roman

Girls:
Violet
Marigold
Beatrice
Rosalie (although Rose is too common)

Please give me more suggestions!! 😊
