What's your favorite posh name?

[Poppy03]

Share your favorite posh name, and nickname : )

[Poppy03]

Is Winifred (Winnie) considered posh?

[manicinsomniac]

Another one for Araminta nn Minty here

Also love Arabella no nn and Montgomery nn Monty

[scarlettsmummy2]

Monty is great! If I ever have a boy I will have to add it to the short list.

[LiviaAugusta]

I quite like Bartholomew nn Tolly. That and Rufus were my favourites if DC2 had been a boy, DH well and truly vetoed them though .

[baskingseals]

poppy - it's a nickname for Victoria. I have only heard it used by posh people.

[Ulysses]

I like Sebastian and Allegra. My Scottish accent just doesn't work with either though!

[MarshaBrady]

Rupert

Araminta

Ds2's middle name is Rupert. Middle names are a false hope. We never use it, I love it.

[lakeofshiningwaters]

I love Persephone and Seraphina - would nn both Seffy.

Neither would work with our rough and manly surname! Plus would never be able to convince DH.

[MarshaBrady]

I might have to have another just so I can actually use Rupert. So lovely.

[goralka]

Sholto - not that I would use it but it is fabulously posh

[Whyriskit]

I love Ottilie and Tabitha. Also Jasper for a boy. DH says no.

[MildredIsMyAlterEgo]

I like Carenza, but not sure if it's posh or just regional

I used to like Cressida, Cress for short

[ChestnutsRoastingonaWitchesTit]

Celia
Margot
Cordelia

Arthur
Bartholomew
Rufus

[Wallison]

Beatrice. Although really what I like about it is the Spanish way of pronouncing it ('Bay-a-treece'), so that doesn't work in the UK.

Also Hermione. Loved it for years, way before Harry 'bloody' Potter.

[TessOfTheBaublevilles]

Cressida nn 'Cressy'

[MerryMarigold]

My kids have 'posh' alter egos when they get dressed up:
ds1 is Rufus
ds2 is Hugo
dd is Luciana

[MerryMarigold]

(Their real names are not posh. I hate posh names)

[butisthismyname]

Henrietta, Hettie, Rupert, Bertie . Ony one of mine has a posh name though :(

[FrostyTheShosheman]

Cordelia just love it

[WhoWhatNow]

Julian - I went to school with a girl whose brother was called this - we all thought it was the poshest name ever

[Xiaoxiong]

Sefton, Horatio, Magnus and Vere (some of DH's students).

One for CheerfulYank - I went to university with Lowell Cabot Putnam IV.

[frantic51]

Flavia and Tarquin

[Pasiphae]

My posh choice would be:

Brunhilda nn Hildy and Perceval nn Percy.

[Pasiphae]

Or maybe Hortensia (Orty) and Rudyard (Rudy).

[ILikeRed]

Lucius, Crispin, Portia and Araminta....I work in a rather posh school. Jolly hockey sticks!
