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?

You said

• *Harrison would be pretty chavvy

I doubt very much Birtwistle's background was "chavvy"- unless you think that term is interchangeable with working class, or indeed, given his parents were shopkeepers, lower middle class or middle class.

The most high falutin person I know is called Bertie. He is genuinely a peer in the HoL.
He’s adorable.

She maintained the illusion, by hook or by crook, though. The audience knew she was from a northern, working class family. Nobody missed it at all.

Aurellia, Evangeline, Redd (I repeated this back as I thought I misheard and mum replied “Yes, Red. With 2 Ds”.), Beauden, Hugo.

Why would anyone take offence to it either way? I’m sure some of mine have typical “chavviest” names, although I’m Irish so they’re pretty boring in fairness 😂 If anyone takes offence to this maybe you’re the one with the issue with your own kids name!!

Hugh, David (posh eh what 🤨) Jane and Claire are ALL big standard names used in Ireland and nothing posh about them in the slightest 🤣

Is his full name Albert?

My name is super common but it's spelt different (only slightly) it's Rebekah. For some reason my parents chose the biblical/Hebrew spelling.. not Jewish or raised as any religion 😂.

The very fact you called her nanny meant she wasn’t posh at all @HRTQueen - she would have been gutted to know probably - there’s a thread on this at the moment on Mumsnet.

Only Fox I have ever heard of was from the X-Files

DD1's name is on here but with a different spelling. Neither I, DH or DD2 appear

I hate the word chavvy but by their definition that would also make Margaret Thatcher chavvy and the thought of a chavvy Mrs T pleases me. 😂😂😂

No problem, thanks. 👍

My children's aren’t either. I’d say one was neutral, neither common or posh and the other slightly more MC than WC.

I had a friend called Aurelia back in the 1960s on our council estate.

My DGC isn't on here either but my cat is😂

Taliesin isn’t posh, it’s a normal Welsh name

"Posh" people would never use the word posh tbf.

I prefer that spelling.

As a kid/teen I really hated it and used Becky, but since having my own kids I've came to realise how much I love my name! It just makes me laugh that we aren't religious at all and me and my sister got biblical names 😂

My niece went to school with a boy names Galahad.

Not to make the thread take a dark turn, but I was reading an article about Constance Marten today and it said ‘she was known to all as Toots shortly after being born’ - I thought immediately of the ‘truly posh people have nicknames’ idea… rings true

I know of a Lancelot.

Today a woman getting off the tram in front of me told her two children not to push in - Hector and Helena. On its own Helena is a normal name but something about the two names together made me think "posh".

You have purposely only quoted part of what I said.
This is a thread about posh names, Sir Birtwhistle’s bio is not one classically associated with someone who is posh.

I said Harrison would be considered pretty chavvy where I live in response to someone suggesting it and Evelyn were posh names. It doesn’t for one moment mean every Harrison is a chav what a silly suggestion. It doesn’t even mean every Harrison where I live is a chav.

Ha ha I’m sure I saw somewhere she considered herself MC.
