I was thinking Malcolm for my son. He would be Malcolm Grant. Is this name posh, do you think? Smile

Isn't Rupert Grant Ron Weasley? Xmas Grin

And I wouldn't say Malcolm was posh. My uncle is Malcolm and he's definitely not posh.

Hugo (maybe not with Grant as a surname actually Xmas Smile)
Jolyon
Stellan
Ivo
Cosmo
Magnus

I'm not keen on the Pt part of Ptolemy. There are far nicer posh names imo.

I think Malcolm is fine. Or how about
Theodore Grant
Caspar Grant
Magnus Grant
Sebastian Grant
Miles Grant

Rupert Grant. Kinda works.

I was going to say Ptolemy! Also Rupert springs to mind.

Just think it would be a bit odd having 2 Malcolm grants in the house.

If you want posh then go for something like Ptolemy. Malcolm is a good name but not especially posh (I'd say it was respectable, definitely passes the lawyer test).

Mal Grant. It sounds like being refused a grant.

I think Grant is a great surname and suits alot of first names. I'm not keen on Malcolm.

It is neither posh nor not posh to my eyes and ears.

Wouldn't it cause confusion?
