Hermione I suppose. Though I don't really think it's posh,just unusual. No nickname though! I intend to use it one day Grin

Montgomery for a boy nn Monty. Think it might be asking to too much of OH to agree to that as well as Hermione though Sad

Another one for Montague (Monty) for a boy. I also had Sebastian, Rufus and Hugo on my list which DH said were too posh!

Not so keen on posh sounding girls names myself although my old Headmistress was called Perdita which is quite posh and I do like that name Smile

It's pronounced Shez-raid. I was at school with Ms Goldsmith, see.

I ache for Inigo but I just couldn't do it to a babe.

Ooooo Corygal ... its got to sound better than Shez-raid ?? surely

My dreams are dashed

Do like Inigo though - but agree how much ribbing would child get.

I am not a fan of most posh names but I very much like Raef (is it spelt like this or is it spelt Ralph and pronouned Raef? See, I am not posh) and Camilla and Cordelia
