Jacinta is a cool posh name.

Corygal · 22/11/2012 15:37

It's pronounced Shez-raid. I was at school with Ms Goldsmith, see.

I ache for Inigo but I just couldn't do it to a babe.

Alisvolatpropiis · 22/11/2012 15:35

Can't spell it either apparently Grin

Alisvolatpropiis · 22/11/2012 15:34

*foo

I like Sherazade too but cannot for the life of me say it properly Blush

CatKitson · 22/11/2012 15:34

Arlo isnt posh is it?

foofooyeah · 22/11/2012 15:30

I cant even say it but

Scheherazade

Like Cosmo for a boy

ScooseIsOnTheLoose · 22/11/2012 15:24

Persephone!

BonaDea · 22/11/2012 15:23

Camilla
Sebastian

Both vetoed (we'll see about that)

MyLastDuchess · 22/11/2012 15:11

My friend's brother is called Digby Hmm

Butterfly1975 · 22/11/2012 13:47

Another one for Montague (Monty) for a boy. I also had Sebastian, Rufus and Hugo on my list which DH said were too posh!

Not so keen on posh sounding girls names myself although my old Headmistress was called Perdita which is quite posh and I do like that name Smile

Dontbesodramatic · 22/11/2012 13:28

Ever long-Grin

Alisvolatpropiis · 22/11/2012 13:05

Hermione I suppose. Though I don't really think it's posh,just unusual. No nickname though! I intend to use it one day Grin

Montgomery for a boy nn Monty. Think it might be asking to too much of OH to agree to that as well as Hermione though Sad

Lucius, Crispin, Portia and Araminta....I work in a rather posh school. Jolly hockey sticks!

Pasiphae · 22/11/2012 10:56

Or maybe Hortensia (Orty) and Rudyard (Rudy).

Pasiphae · 22/11/2012 10:54

My posh choice would be:

Brunhilda nn Hildy and Perceval nn Percy.

frantic51 · 22/11/2012 10:26

Flavia and Tarquin Grin

Xiaoxiong · 22/11/2012 10:16

Sefton, Horatio, Magnus and Vere (some of DH's students).

One for CheerfulYank - I went to university with Lowell Cabot Putnam IV.

WhoWhatNow · 22/11/2012 10:12

Julian - I went to school with a girl whose brother was called this - we all thought it was the poshest name ever Grin
