Ottilie. I think it's very posh in France.

I love 'posh' names and my favourites include Hugo, Quentin, Sebastian, Arabella, Ophelia and Penelope. I'm not sure I'd call them posh though, I'd prefer to call them elegant and classic 
.

My second daughters middle name is Ottilie- my husband wouldn't let me use it for a first name 
. I also love Araminta, nick named minty, and my daughter goes to school with a Lavinia, nicknamed 'Vinnie', which I think is fab.

I like Matilda (Tilly or Milly for short). But would you say this is "posh"? I'm not sure...

I think Matilda is quite posh but don't think Milly is.

Hugo is great, but I'm afraid it would get shortened to Hugh, which I don't like.

poppydaisy What you call an Ophelia for short?
My BFF at school always said shed call her child Crispin, we lost touch I wonder if she did 
I like Oliver and Penelope although the nicknames Olly and Penny aren't so posh.

scarlettsmummy2 Do you pronounce Ottilie Oh-tilly or Uh-tilly? If this were a first name, would it become "Tilly" for short?

I also like Araminta, nickname minty and LOVE Rupert. Unfortunately we are not posh and my husband has vetoed them as possible names for dc2.
Here in the US some surnames used as first names for girls are quite posh. Not Kennedy or Madison, those are common. But really out there ones like Haddon, etc. Bizarre!
Octavia is very downmarket here.

We pronounce it oh-Tilly. I would have preferred not to shorten it to Tilly as I think it is a bit more unusual.

Jago. Although that can be posh and/or regional, depending on where you live. Round here it would be posh, though.

Posh friends give one another nicknames like Pinky ponkington, tinky tonkington and dinky donkington.
