Sounds too posh?

We're having a little boy and have narrowed it down to

Gabriel
Dante
Morgan
Reuben

We like unusual names rather than traditional names. The problem is that we already have a double-barrelled surname. Do you think our poor baby is going to sound too posh?

My borderline is the same as lynette's btw ...

i know a couple of morgans and a few gabriels (one of my names but we had girls!) - i really don't like dante as it was the name of a rufty-tufty character in that dreadful bbc series waterloo road...

few reubens nr us, tend to be jewish families

lots of morgans round here. but they are all girls

They don't sound posh to me, just nice.

Morgan is very popular name around here btw, you obviously don't live in Wales!

does it matter if it sounds posh?

LynetteScavo · 22/05/2008 11:01

None of them too posh.

Dante not posh at all, IMO. The opposite, infact.

funnypeculiar · 22/05/2008 11:01

Like them all except Dante, which is borderline imo

Gabriel defn my fave (vetoed by my dh)
