Sapphire - chavvy or posh?

Debating the name Sapphire with a friend, she puts it firmly in the 'Chardonnay' camp and I consider it posh, more akin to Cordelia or Jacinta. What do you think?

It's most definitely in the Chardonnay camp.

See Jacqueline Wilson's books - definitely chavvy!! Or the kind of name that 10-year-old girls think is lovely :)

I'd expect there to be a McQueen on hollyoaks with the name so definitely put it in the Mercedes, Chardonnay camp personally.

I taught a Sapphire and a Chardonnay, they were sisters.

I know a posh Sapphire, but her parents aren't from the UK so maybe it is different abroad.

I imagine Sapphire to be the heroine in one of Katie Price's books.

It's not posh and its not chavvy.

It's just a name.

To answer the question.
Sapphire's sister is called Chanelle-Mae.

I don't think it's either. I'm no Chav and don't consider myself 'posh' but Saphire is just the same as using any other jewel name, such as Ruby, Amethyst or Pearl.

Bombay Sapphire Gin? Yes, in the same league as Chardonnay.
