Tarquin
no im a lady
don't reallt think any of the names you have suggested are posh!! I guess we are all different.
It's "tolumee")
Mungo and Hector? As witnessed in park yesterday, thought they were quite posh.
i still read your name as south east asia
Yes I knew a Mungo too. Hector?! I used to ride a pony called Hector.
it's the same as califi said, it's a werid surname
Hector was about 3, bless him, and did NOT want me to help him down from the climbing frame. I think it's a name he'll grow into.

Bathsheba

Venetia
OMG DD2's name is on that other thread
I wondered about Miriam - the little girl who was talking to us over my parents' wall yesterday has a friend called Miriam and she (wall-lurking little girl) was rather posh so I dare say Miriam is too.
People really call their kids Ptolemy? Why?
well he's a character in shakespeare innit (ptolemy that is) ant and cleo..
Oberon is a v posh name.

Excuse my ignorance, but in which Shakespeare play was there a 'Ptolemy'? And was it the Ptolemy (astronomer/astrologer in 1st century AD) or was it another guy by the same name?
aquilla (sp?) is posh for a boy.
oh lordy none of the rory's I know are posh, certainly not up here in scotland
Imogen and Jemima isnt' posh around here anymore.
Imogen and Jemima isnt' posh around here anymore.

Is Theo posh really? does that mean Thea is too?
nah, Thea is just Gorgeous!
Thea is a georgous name, but my DC's would say Fea!
It's funny to read what people calss as a 'posh' name and what is not! Jemima and Imogen are quite popular around here. Where do some people get some of these names from?
By
hatrick on Mon 12-May-08 21:14:07
Lynette my dd2 says Fea but dd3 says Seeeaaa in a very French way
Ginty and Alicia sound quite posh I think.
We have a "Tolemy" at DD's nursery, and he certainly isn't posh
had this convo last time i was proper drunk, over a year ago. fond memories.
I know 2 Hectors aged under 3 - not terribly posh, but quite arty parents...
India
Think it might have been Antony and Cleo Cote
Ptolomy was her dad not the bloke who wrote histories..i think
Twinkie1, I think Raiff/Rafe is spelled Ralph when you are posh. And Ralph is pronounced Ralf when you're not.
There is a Ptolemy Dean who is an architect/TV bod who has an artist sister called Tacita - now THERE'S posh!

Theo is definitely not posh round these parts (quite the opposite). Rory, Imogen and Miles aren't either.
By
yurt1 on Mon 12-May-08 22:09:29
I like Ptolemy the architect bod.
Jonty and Rollo.
Rupert definitely (can you imagine surviving a normal school called Rupert . . .). Tarquin too by the same argument.
Also Piers - I lived in a Spanish village once which had two Piers (Piers's?) living there, both had been at Eton (plus an ex-Harrow bloke, but he was called David).
I think the locals had a slightly strange idea of what was normal for the English
Definitely Jonty
Hugh not so post in Scotland ("Shug/Shuggie").
Percival?
Horace (though a great name for cat
).
Or posh , even...
jonquil
Ptolomy is very posh.
Miranda
Candida
Candida?
Not the one I knew.
Cornelius.
Flavia.
Cornelius? Not the Corny I grew to know and love. He was a scally.
Hortense
Tuppy
Barnabus
Tuppy is so adorable but is it a real name?
How did Muhammad Ali get to be a posh boy? He started out as a Cassius, didn't he?
Snort at 'Tuppy'.
