Place names are good have to have some sort of connection to your family though I knew a York.
I met a wee boy called Ptolomy -- like the name. Called Tolly for short.

lots of the 'snobby' names coming up here are catholic names (dominic, patrick, xavier, ignatius, anselm etc) not posh names necessarily...

I knew two brothers named Jolyon and Trillion.

Pongo? What's that short for?

Absolutely right tapismagique.

Pongo short for "Fuckwit" I think Grin

Catanddogmake6 · 13/08/2016 12:58

Pongo is Navy slang for Army personnel but no idea as a nickname.

I love the name Aubrey. DH vetoed though.

SvalbardianPenguin · 13/08/2016 12:59

Place names are great, I absolutely agree with having to have a personal connection with a place. We wanted to do this with DS1 but we're from Bognor Regis.

Leonard isn't a posh name! A few of these aren't - Jed, for one.
