I read a lot of Anne Perry's Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries that are set in the 1880s and 1890s. (She also writes the William Monk novels set in 1850s and 1860s). In reading those books, I see there are characters that have archaic names. I recently finished reading Brunswick Gardens which had a young woman named Tryphena  !
If I have children, I would give them classic names. However, it won't be those that would get them beat up or teased in school.
