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 :)

Ha Ha :D My two sons' names are in these lists! We are definitely not posh, but wanted unusual names: Nathanial and Gabriel xx

Has anyone said Hector?

Silas
Cassius
Columbus
Basil

Didn't op say pretentious, not posh?

Anyway, I was told just last night that most of the names on my boys list are pretentious.. that exact word. It includes:
Pip
Atticus
Bespin
Gage
Barton
Cap

I have a Teddy (Theodore) we're not remotely posh!!

Ok, she said posh/pretentious. I take it back.

The lady who used to live opposite us had five children. 4 boys, Fletcher, Octavious, Emmerson and Columbus. And one girl, Nel. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with many other posh names but these are rather good :)

Balthazar
Bartholomew (Barty)
Fitzroy
Beauchamp
Arturo
Humphrey
Ranulph
Rainier

Pretentious top trump has to be Austin.

Make the middle name 'tatious' and its unbeatable- ostentatious!

Soames
Simeon
Hector
Jolyn
Peregrine

Angel would be too hard to live up to.

Are you a fan of the Forsyte Saga sue?

Don't know if anyone's said it but i always thought franklin was a posh name. I love tristan and caleb but toby is nice too, especially i you make the full name tobias x

Duh! Ignore me, just saw the Angel reference.

DC go to school with a boy called Sinjin (that spelling). Don't do that.

Oh for poor Sinjin.

Bad enough to be called St.John, but to be called St.John with the phonetic spelling..........

my son goes to a state school
he has mates called Milo Sholto, Magnus, Rufus and Titus

so up yer arses

We liked "posh" names too op, which is why one of the boys names is on almost every page.
And when I suggested StJohn I may have been a little Tongue in cheek.

Lots of these names are lovely but not many of them I would consider posh, I think more and more these days names go across classes.
Names we have in our family as either first or middle names

Solomon
Oscar
Henry
Benjamin
William
Tobias
Edward
Theodore
Joseph
Oliver
Harry
Benedict
Jack
Llwelleyn
Charles
James
Wilfred
Matthew
Rupert
Ernest

Most of these names have been mentioned and I wouldn't consider any of them posh really.

Kemys is a new one on me. It must be so posh that no man called Kemys ever mixes with plebs thus keeping the name in obscurity.

My DH's name has been mentioned above. ..his family are quite posh and the name also used in his mother's home country.

I have a former colleague called Galen which is lovely. He wasn't posh though!

Sebastian, quentin, Orlando, Solomon

Piers
Hilary
Jago
Aurelius
Lesley
Alistair/dair/ter is REALLY REALLY common in Scotland

Since 'posh' boys names are now borrowed from 'ordinary working man's' names I offer;

Billy
Stan
Fred
Bert
Harry

Geordie is not posh in the North East but affectionate nn for George.

Surnames as first names are quite celeb (not posh at all) in my opinion.

I think to be called Columbus you have to be an achiever.

Many of these names are nice and normal in some inner city schools (ie not of English heritage ) ie Hubert, Bruno...

To me Dashiel or Dash could work beautifully in The Wire

I'm very much enjoying this thread
