Felix and Casper sibset - posh?

A lovely lady I know through work has named her sons Felix and Casper. Both lovely names imo, although together I think they sound rather posh. What do you think? If it makes any difference, they are from New York living in London. Another colleague who was transferred from NY to London at the same time has two sons - Freddie and Hugo. I think that pairing is even posher! Thoughts?

Even the word sibset is posh!

I'd assume they were kittens

Me too! Lovely names, but definitely a pair of kittens.

Cats

my best ever cat was Caspar

Felix and Caspar are middle class, but less so as they’re from America, and they have different naming conventions there.

Hugos parents are posh or trying to be posh.

Freddie is quite run of the mill and I don’t think it indicates a class.

Not posh but cats names

Felix and Casper, quite post, yes.
Hugo, quite posh, yes.
Freddie, really not posh.

Id feel really sorry for the poor kids

I absolutely love Felix and Casper/Caspar.

I'd think very middle class rather than posh.

Both quite unappealing names really. Felix is a cat and Casper is a ghost! Probably also clouded by the fact that I knew a Felix and he was a nightmare.

Freddie and Hugo are REALLY mismatched. Unless it’s sort for Alfred I wouldn’t say Freddie was posh - quite the opposite.

Felix and Caspar are obviously her cats. I think you misheard.

If I met a parent with children called felix and Caspar than yes I would immediately think posh posh posh.

But then I think Sebastian is a posh name, and every other boy seems to be called that who I've met, so what do I know.
