Middle class baby names

21 replies

Please can you spam me with some weird and interesting middle / upper class baby girl names (just because they are usually a little bit more unique). I'm getting pretty snow blind in all of the basic name recommendations people are giving me.
Please no old lady names or flowers 😬

Verity
Felicity
Juliet
Erica
Penelope
Cressida

They often arent unique. Often classic. Elizabeth, Charlotte, Sophie, Lucy etc.

Ok so you clearly have in mind a stereotype of middle class baby names. I work with a lady who was raised on one of the biggest council estates in the UK - her name is Charlotte.

Im friends with someone who was educated in the independant sector and whos hobby is horse riding - her name is Kendal.

Does that fit your stereotype?

Fox funnily enough, four of the names you listed have been given to various chickens we have owned over the last few years 🤣🤣🤣

You seem very fixated on class stereotypes Hmm
It’s utterly bizarre to me - you seem like a hideous snob op Wine

Tbh, I think a lot of those names are either fairly universal now or out of fashion. Maybe these?

Camilla
Beatrice
Margaret
