AIBU to ask you to give me your most outrageously posh names for my....... bunnies. We have rescued 2 and one is already called Dave. Would like to give the other something splendid to make up for all the years he has been nameless...! If you give me many spiffing names I may even re name Dave. Thanks!

Tarquin was my first thought.

Dsis dated a Torquil with a double barreled surname, then someone called Charles with a triple barrelled surname which the first and second parts were the same....he was v posh and thought my Dsis was odd as she washed tights.... He thought they were single use items!

I have a son whose name, an eastern European name, shortens to Tolly/Tolya. I have had two people say to me "Oooh Tolly, we have a Ptolemy too.... Isn't it such a lovely name". Have pointed out he's not Ptolemy and kept quiet on my thoughts about that name!

Viscount Tarquin Ignatious Farquharsen Browne-Smythe.

And Dave.

I think Thaddeus is the way to go. But that's because I really love that name, name not because it's a 'posh' one.

What about Ludovicus nn Ludo?

Octavius

This makes no sense! I do believe you, it's just that it's ridiculous... Why would anyone double barrel the same name?

It isn't that uncommon. Black-Cave-Black, for example? (That's a made up name, btw). The Black family and the Cave-Black family may have been joined, creating the Black-Cave-Black family... for example.

Plus, quadruple-barrelled surnames. Cave-Black and Tempest-Black => Cave-Black-Tempest-Black... at lest that's how it would be in my native country. It seems to be the same way in the U.K. At least as far as I know...

Just had a thought, Charles (Chas) to go with Dave, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit Grin

Did you hear about the lonely mongrel who had no friends...?
One day, out for a walk he saw two very elegant French Poodles strolling along, summoning up the courage to say hello, he went up to them...

"Hello, what is your name" he asked?
"Mimi" said the first haughtily - spelled M.I.M.I...

rather put off he slunk back, but determined to make friends timidly went up to the other one...

"Hello, what is your name" he asked?
"Fifi" said the second one, equally haughtily - spelled F.I.F.I...

really put off by this time, the mongrel slunk back behind, but continued to follow at a distance... eventually the two French Poodles turned on the mongrel...
"So, what is your name?" they asked in unison...

"Fido" said the mongrel - spelled P.H.Y.D.E.A.U.X

-----
Grin so there you are, take any name and make it posh!

However, next time I get a pet I want to call it Treygard The Dungeonmaster (in case any other 80s babies remember Knightmare...!)
