Full disclosure: the babies we are naming are hens, not humans, so no need to worry about school bullying or job applications

Obviously Henrietta is on the list, open to any and all suggestions

Oh god, now not only are my DDs first and second names here but also now her nick name! 🫣

ditalini · 08/06/2024 16:25

Actually, having thought about it, if I had Hon Hens I would call them:

Emily
Harriet
Imogen
Prudence
Octavia

In honour of Jilly, queen of the posh gels. (Bella was not posh).

Or:
Nancy
Diana
Pamela
Unity
Jessica
Deborah

In honour of the original U gels. Maybe politically a bit iffy tho.

Wishimaywishimight · 08/06/2024 16:15

hopelessbusiness · 08/06/2024 15:47

Persephone or Antigone

hattylou · 08/06/2024 15:38

Henrietta - The perfect hen name obviously!
Clara- Not nessary posh but I see this as a chicken name for some reason. Was there ever a Clara hen is some kids book/ TV programme????

The names of females from the traditional landed gentry old money that I have come across are:-
Camilla
Jemima
Elizabeth
Artimis
Cressida
Sarah- lots
Thomasina
Prudence
Cordelia
Diana
Jane
Maud

Add a non linked nick name to be properly "posh"

wilteddandelion · 08/06/2024 15:31

Is Henryetta posh? I didn't think it was really. Old fashioned maybe
