I think you need to look not just at high rank but "change in rank" so you can stray away from what is trendy (ie popular now but wont be popular once it fades) and recognize what is classic (ranked high, always been high, likely to continue to rank high).

For example, two names I hear ALL the time now that are super trendy are Penelope (2018 = 26) and Harper (2018 = 9). Penelope is a name that has been ranked since the 1922 and average rank is somewhere in the 400s and it was as low as 941 in 2001 but is currently experiencing a super high raking.  Harper is a name that wasnt ranked (didnt exist) until 2004 when it was 884 and since then has ranked 11th or higher since 2014.

From your list Clara and Frances are similar to Penelope: long time ranked names that are experiencing a recent uptick but much less dramatically than trendy Penelope (didnt fall as far, never rose as high).  Elizabeth, Caroline, Julia Catherine (+Katherine) and Mary are highly ranked names that are perennially high.  [/quote]
