I want my newborns name to be upper class...

[Delphiii]

Hi there ladies!
I myself am a very traditional woman from a high-class background with conservative views and friends. I'm currently pregnant with twins! Having 4 children already; Simon , Harry, Emily and Edward, I'm essentially looking for a less "common" name, I don't at all like these "new-earth" names such as Jago or tigger. I am however looking for something a little... different. What do you all think about these? -
Wichard,
Ceculle,
Samwell,
Job, (possible Joab),
Gawker,
Delphina II,
Eli,
Belle,
Beau,
Beaux,
Fant (French pronunciation)
Nathanwell (similar to Nathaniel)
or Theadore?
I look forward to getting to know you all better soon!
Delphiii!

I kind of like Jago

I think you're too quick to reject the name Jago. I called me 4th Jago and couldn't be happier with my name choice (my others are Claire, Julie and Helen if you were wondering) xxx

Oh dear bad name changer

....

It's pronounced G'chere - from a Hugenot cadet line of royal bastards. I thought everyone knew that!

Well in answer to your post I was thinking that Samwell might end up being shortened to "well" rather than "Sam"
Ps, I'm not accustomed to these abbreviations and acronyms, could someone point me in the direction of a page explaining them all?

Haha, not bad.

Are you sure you couldn't be talked into Tigger?

Beau-Leaux?
Mormorix?
Vulver?
Kletorris?

Mormorix is lovely, any idea what it'd be shortened to?

The correct short form of Mormorix is Gordon, of course!

Does the name pass the supermarket test? Could you see yourself shouting 'Well!' in Waitrose, or do you think it would be followed by older ladies saying 'I don't think you are, dear'.

Although ds1 is known as Sammykins (he's 11, he does hate me calling him that ) so there's always hope.

Hmm, going by your choices I think you might also like:

Loungerby

Ponsonbert

Waydanglo

The Pride of Hampstead (Hamps for short)

Oklahoma! - but then you run the risk of getting it shortened to Oklahoma which is a bit declasse now

Best of luck!

I think F'ann-Jo for a girl is lovely and very unusual

I also like Bertxander, Olichard and Fersi and Kenneth for boys

Does anybody else hear 'High Class' and immediatley want to follow it with the word 'Prostitute'?

I dislike samwell, as we know two portugese boys called this who are awful.

How about,

Geraldine
Claudia
Lizmaih
Elyzabel
Josephine

Laurie
Frank
Able
Seth
Cedric
Mauritz
Florian

Bill: yes. And "conservative views and friends" would be the clientele, wouldn't it?

PMSL Medi.

Able? That sounds like a good, solid name with zero bullying potential. Go with that, absolutely.

I thought Jago was an ancient Cornish name, not new-fangled?

MOrmorix is actually pronounced 'Keith'.

There are only 4 Jagos on 1881 census and they are not Cornish.

Jago is a Cornish surname

Priceless

Wow, Belle, I do like those names!

what about...
Florian and Florienne if I have a boy and a girl?
Or.. OLIVANDER? x

Hyphenia is the new in name I am told. However, it could become the Beatrice of the twenties, i.e. rather common.

Get ahead of the game with Catherine? Royal names are always considered a safe bet.

Delphiii you are hilarious :)
