Poshest children’s name’s you’ve heard?

[purpledaze24]

My DS is due to start school in Sept and we recently met his soon to be classmates at an intro session. I have never heard so many stereotypically posh names in one group of people in my life! (The school is close to a very wealthy village…that we don’t live in sadly!) there was an Arabella, a Tarquin, a Jaygo, a Henrietta. So that’s what inspired this thread…what do you consider the top 5 poshest names you’ve ever heard of?

George, Charlotte and Louis 😁

Jago isn't posh - half our local primary are Jago/Luca's

Fox and Moss are the 2 poshest I ever met 😂

I met a Huxley last week.

Arabella… Bijou…ottilie…hector

They're not posh, just the Nouveau riche.

The poshest names I've heard are the Royals. Elizabeth, Alexandra, Victoria, Alice, George, Louis, William, Henry, Edward, Charles.

Names like Tarquin arent posh theyre stupid.

I did raise an eyebrow when I heard a mother called out for her DS in a museum...."Horatio".

Personally I dislike any names which denote social class whether that's upper or lower classes. I like names which could be used in the royal family but which also wouldn't stand out on a council estate.

Evangeline
Ottilie
Constance
Othello
Jonty

All from tv/Instagram as i don't know any posh people in real life.

Peregrine
Hugh
David
Merrick
Charles

Victoria
Philomena
Jane
Clare
Eleanora

Hortense

I agree. In my family there is one whose name is considered posh and one whose name is considered chavvy. Same family, neither posh nor chavvy. It's ridiculous to stereotype in this way.

I actually love the name Ottilie though! Even though it is fairly posh.

Posh names =/= posh people.

Aristocratic names would be the Alexander, Charlotte, Elizabeth etc…

Which is not what this thread is about.

Jago and Jonty aren’t posh names though. In my head for boys it would be Hector, Benedict, Maxwell (not shortened) Girls names would have a shorter version (often bearing no resemblance to the name): Apple, Belsie, Lettice, Fish…

I recently came across a Tristram - first time I've ever encountered the name outside of George and Mildred! 😄

Honestly, the most UC people I know named their children entirely ordinary things that wouldn’t raise an eyebrow on Mn. I know two ‘Honorables’ (I mean, they don’t use it, but they’re technically entitled to as the daughter and younger son of (I think) a viscount and an earl), and they’re called Martha and Anthony.

The children of the most UC people I know of my generation (children now aged between early teens and mid-20s) are called things like Mimi, Tobias, Mary, Elodie and Max.

Septimus and Victor

Heloise
Peregrine

My NDN'S grandson is Tristan - local comprehensive, labour activist, suburban bungalow type folks

Chilli is not posh!

I think that people are confusing ‘posh’ and monied.

Benedict

Jemima, Hugo, Hugh, Arlo,

Oh dear...

Jaygo isn’t posh. Jago is.

St John, Octavia, Rupert

Jago and Diggory
