Could you give me some examples of 'preppy' boys names? But nothing tooooo out there or uppity sounding e.g. Tarquinius or Horatio would be way too much for us!

I'm not sure what "preppy" actually means, but if it helps, we're going out at the weekend in a group. The men are named Tim, Richard, Tarquin and Alexander.

Or any of the names on that list tbh!

A sample of dd's preppy school mates:

William (Will), Oliver (v popular - there are 2 in her class), Milo, Jude, James, Thomas, Saul, Samuel, Theo, Jacob.

She's 11 now though - so these are a decade out of date Wink

Er, since when has Nigel been a preppy name?!
