Think tweed, wax jackets, country sports (hunting/clay pigeon shooting/equestrian).
Please throw me some girls names that would fit this criteria!
Thank you.

This will only work if you are in the country set yourself, OP. You can't make a Tiggy just by calling a baby Tiggy. You have to BE a Tiggy. And if you were in the Tiggy classes you wouldn't be asking, sorry.

Agree with this @ero it just wouldn't work without the matching lifestyles & the country set are impossible to break into (unless you are Kate or Pippa!) Also the country set know the types of names to call the kids. The poshest aristos I know have kids called Lily & Charlie.

The person I know in real life who is a bit like this is called Henrietta. I think that fits the bill nicely.

The girls will have fairly ordinary names, but they won't get used. All of the Sloaney girls at my boarding school were called Camilla, Sarah (that dates my era, Louisa, Tilly, Bella etc but we're all known as Bunty, Tiggy, Minty, Figgy etc...! As a PP said you can't engineer it if you aren't in the county set!

This 💯

What on earth do you mean by "low key?!" Since when were we discussing music? Or have I missed something

You're definitely missing something. It's an informal way of saying 'to some extent.'
