I want the poshest name I can get away with . OK don't all murder me at once for having asked. I'd be so embarrassed saying that out loud in real life.

I'm called one of these 3 names Sharon/Dawn/Tracey (don't want to narrow down my identity too much). I've always hated revealing my name.

Your thoughts please?

Some of these are really not posh I must say: Susanna, George, Victoria, Vanessa, Eliza.
Some are just too popular to be exclusively posh

Tabitha, Eliza, Camille, Jemima, Cordelia, Ophelia, Ottille, think Shakespeare!
