DH refuses to consider George because it's "posh"

We already have Henry & James, to put this in context.

Is George posh (or posher than H&J?) all...vote... NOW!

(thank you)

No posher than Henry or James! They're all the same level of poshness IMO Smile. All lovely names.

I think Henry is quite posh but all 3 names definitely work together.

Looking at the recent Georges I would have said quite the opposite

I see Henry as posh but James and George as transcending class barriers!

Henry, James and George are all Royal names.

What about Darren? Grin

No, it's one of those names that gives nothing away about the person. George could be anything from a pot washer to a High Court judge.

Not posh.

I'd say it's traditional and classless. A George would be a normal and unremarkable name for a baby from any and all levels of society. It fits very well with Henry and James.

I see Henry as much "posher" than George or James.

To put into context we wouldn't have chosen Henry or james as too posh for us or so we thought.
However we did consider George but in the end opted for another name as georgie Porgie rhyme was not what we wanted to hear coming from th playground.
I think it's a lovely name but we weren't brave enough Sad

i think its a normal name. My builder is called George and I never thought ooh, he has a posh name. Not that builders can't be posh, I'm sure they can, mine isn't!

It's not like Tarquin or Montgommery.....Id say they're posher than George.

Yes all 3 are Thomas the Tank Engine names but they do go very well together. I agree Henry is posh. George and James both classless.

It's just a normal name, I agree that Henry is more posh than George and James.
