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?

Was one of the wise men I think.

Makes me think of the comedian!! 🤣 🤣

Actually really posh people tend not to call their children Araminta and Tarquin. They are more likely to go for really traditional royal names - Elizabeth Mary Charlotte Philippa Henry Edward Robert etc etc or rather odd family names eg Jocelyn (for a boy) Aubrey etc Cordelias and Ptolemies are usually the offspring of pretentious middle class professionals

I have apprentices at work called Sebastian, Xavier and Atticus. Nine of them are posh or went to a private school. They are just normal names to me to be honest.

Jayden is a strange one though. Where we live, it does have the ‘chav’ connotation. My son has a lovely friend from New Zealand called Jayden and when they first got to know him, they all really took the piss out of him because of his name. They all just call him Jay now. Not sure if it’s a common name in New Zealand though.

St John

Arabella is a horrible name. Certainly not 'posh'

Pandora is quite posh 😁

I know a Fidelis, she works in Tesco

Oh, yes!

Galahad! As in sir Galahad of the round table. Did make me chuckle.

Moondial ?

See names are so subjective because I work in schools in a north east town that has a reputation for being working class and poor and some of the ‘most challenging’ kids I’ve had over the years have been called Fox, Rupert, Annabella, Sebastian and Ophelia

Hmm. I'm not anyone who knows the mythical association would use it. Pretty name though, but so is Candida 😀

Mercedes
Ned
Verity
Ophelia
Hector

Zephyr
Hera
Cordelia
Thor
Fox (although I didn't think this was posh, just daft)

oh yeah I forgot

Ophelia
Hector

St John is also pretty posh

🤣

I know a couple of kids from west African heritage called Fidelis
loads have old old biblical names like Jethro, Esther, Zilpah, Dorcas, Abel - defo not posh but in a very different demographic and area quite popular with the trendy name crowd

He said it was too 'girly' and he'd get beaten up a lot 🙄

It's a complete mystery why he's now my ex

Well shows how out of touch I am then! So by that revelation, this thread is probably irrelevant. I guess with the rise of social media, internet etc. people of all backgrounds want to increasingly feel special and have more unique names for their kids and now have the ability to search instantly at the touch of a button for names moments ago unknown to them!

Brilliant 😂😂

Jocasta Eliza Hepzibah Woodpigeon-Downton …. Shall be known as Tittie

I wouldn't necessarily go straight to the myth and it doesn’t sound like a medical condition, but I think it has a air of poshness to it, eg Lady Pandora
