Do these names seem posh to you?

[CarlaVeloso]

Emilia
Clara
Verity

DH is convinced they are a bit posh for us. I think I've spent so long thinking about this that I no longer have an immediate sense of where they fall in the whole class thing...what do you think?

[poppydaisy]

Is 'posh' bad?

I think the names are lovely.

[CarlaVeloso]

No, not bad at all! I just wondered what the perception might be. Just asking, that's all.

[LegArmpits]

Let me tell you, I am not posh! [farts, reads The Sun]

[FuckyNell]

I like them. Also liking Margot.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

No, just nice names

[redrubyindigo]

What is posh? I have a 'posh' name. Actually my middle name is quite 'posh' as well. Try 'classic' or 'timeless'

I come from an ordinary working class background but I do believe my 'classic' names have opened doors for me. They are timeless and I can't be age dated by my name. I could be fifteen or sixty.

Your choices are timeless and classic.

I like Clara

although this ones not posh, but acts like the lady of the manor

[AbiRoad]

Verity is the only one I think of as a bit posh, but maybe because I know a posh verity

[MuttonCadet]

I don't think they're posh, but they are lovely names (I know a very nice not posh Verity)

[Lottiedoubtie]

They are names that cross classes. They will be on both state and private school rolls.

[Frontdoorstep]

They are all nice names.

Verity is the only one that sounds a bit posh to me.

[GlitzAndGiggles]

There's an Emilia in my family. My side isn't posh but her parents are stuck up. I love the name and wouldn't really say it's posh it's just my family who think they are

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

nope

[allmycats]

All lovely names.

[BikeRunSki]

I'd say a little old fashioned rather than posh. Bit old fashioned is cool!

[littlebluedog12]

Hmm altogether they sound a bit posh but individually if I met someone with one of those names I wouldn't bat an eyelid. So as long as it's not triplets...

I love Clara and considered it for DD2.

[phoolani]

Verity is well posh and I love it. My boyfriend when I was 16 had a younger sister called Verity and she totally rocked. It's a fab name.

[looki]

Ummm . like the poster above said, if met individually....no. If I had to choose one, it would be Verity but to be perfectly honest whenever I think about whether a name is posh or not, I imagine it being called in different regional accents. This quickly eliminates ANY name from being posh!

[Sharaluck]

Verity is posh.

[ToffeeJungle]

I would consider them as posh, too posh for me anyway!

In order of poshness (poshest first):
Verity
Clara
Emilia

[Innogen]

I have a posh name but I am a massive chav.

At uni no one believed I had gone to state school because of it. That and my stupid accent.

[Wuxiapian]

I wouldn't say they sounded posh, but pretty.

[lebkuchenlover]

What on earth is wrong with a 'posh' name? Most names that some of you call posh are simply beautiful names!

[NinjaPenguin]

I think they sound posh. (But then I'm the opposite of posh ) but I don't see what is wrong with that. They can still be pretty names, not my taste (apart from Emilia, which I love!) but if you like them, then I don't see why it matters.

[WowserBowser]

Lovely names. Good choices op!
