THe jolly hockey sticks Cordelia got me thinking......

I knew, growing up, a very posh Annabel, Amelia and Beatrice.

All names that could be used by anybody these days. Imogen is another one that was ouch posh when I was about 12.

So what is posh now? Clemency? Tuppence?

To me Camilla is the ultimate posh name.

I think Jemima was posh but now has wider usage outside the huntin' fishin' shootin' set.

Titus will always be posh.
