posh/ pretentious boys names ?!

[isitseptemberyet]

Looking for help with 'snobby' boys names ! Apparently that's the type my OH and I like! We like Hugo & Leonard atm but really want something we Love, have nine weeks left,
would really appreciate any suggestions :)

PLEASE kindly refrain from naming an innocent child Ptolemy. Even the most difficult, painful, vomit-inducing pregnancy doesn't deserve that.

How about Sphinctus?

Or Wellington

Orinoco

or

Bulgaria?

Ha! All three of my boy's first and middle names are in this thread!

(I think people are having a bit of a giggle, ComedyWing.)

But Kemys (pron. Caims) is genuinely the poshest name I know in real life, which amuses me as it's a dreaded K-name! MN abhors a K name.

Ptolemy for an English Bulldog?

Hamish and Rory are very run of the mill Scottish names - really not "posh".

...and wasn't Pongo one of the dogs in 101 Dalmations??

Almost every single name mentioned is dire and only fit for a pet..

Boom! All three of my boys are here.
Apologies if it's been mentioned but How about StJohn (sinjen) that's proper posh.

I know an Atticus - his parents are vair posh

Slinky why would you bestow a lifetime of correcting the pronunciation on a child for a name like that? As well as "why did your mom call you Saint John??" There's some lovely names on this list but def not this one

I forgot
Gerald
Corbian

The Thread of Awful Names.

Rufus?

Fellatio

Why not resurrect one of the splendid old Saxon names? Several internet sites to help. E.g. Boniface Bentley, Wulfric, Thane, Ethelwulf, Ranulf, Osbert, Leofric (shortened to Leo) - best steer clear of Baeldric though!

The only one of my grandsons that hasn't appeared on this list is Ted. A good, solid very un-posh name. Though I'm told he was very nearly called Theodore.

Why do you need a "snobby" or posh name for your child? Do you think that it'll make you a cut above the rest?

Marmaduke

Alexander- always a winner - full length it sounds posh - shortened to Alex- it sounds cool - the name of the life and soul of the party.......

Henry/Harry is not a posh name ask my working class miner grandad

Tarquin
Rupert
Peregrine
Evelyn
Auberon
Beau

We have Isambard on our list. Mainly because of his contribution towards engineering.

I am worried though that other kids might take the piss because anything different gets a ribbing.

Oh bloody hell. Just saw the name Evelyn above- that's a boys name??!
My friend had a baby and I assumed it was a girls name and congratulated her on such a lovely name..... What an idiot.

lol SophieO- i didnt say in my original post that i NEED a posh name with the implication being that i thought it would make me better than others !
when we have been making lists of names we like people have commented that they sound posh, or when ive looked through online name threads and found ones i like they are mainly from posts entitled things like 'tell me all your posho names' etc !
It's nothing to do with being a 'cut above the rest' , i think everyone has a style of name they like when thinking about naming their children, which often changes over time, i wouldn't use my 1st sons name now, ten years on.

Felix

Fabien

Lucien

Crispin

Quentin

Gideon

Cuthbert

StJohn is the ultimate posh name in my opinion
