[Poppy03]

Share your favorite posh name, and nickname : )

Not sure if these are still considered 'posh' but I love
Sebastian
Quentin
Tristan
Antonia
Eleanora
Seraphina

Seems like so called 'posh' names are elegant, classic names that aren't too popular?

I really like Magnus, Thaddeus, Constantine, Dominic, Seraphina, Arabella, but most names on this thread are great (perhaps with the exception of Reginald and Plum )

There is a lady on the antiques roadshow called Bunny. You would have to be pretty posh to pull that one off!!!!

Bunny I'd think the opposite of posh actually. A bit like Cherie imo!

My dd once had a plaster cast signed by: Lucia, Antonia, Chloe, Francesca, Xanthe and Flora. Risks outing self here.

My DH snorted when she came home and chuckled up and down the stairs muttering that's what you get for living in SW bloody London and if you'd grown up in Yorkshire like me there'd be a few Sharon's and Debbie's on that leg.

but all the Sharons and Debbies are about 45 years old now....
and Chloe is SO not posh it is pure council estate.....

Bunty

.....well don't say that to Chloe's mum and dad! .

I love Scheherazade too but surely we only think it's posh because of S. Goldsmith? She's the only one I've ever heard of. I mean, on an Englishwoman it's more wacky than anything else.

Ludo, wish i had the nerve...
Also partial to girls names Percy (Persephone), Raffaella or Jonquil
Algernon or a classic Henry for boys

Arlo might not be on a par with thaddeus and Persephone but it would certainly be considered posh round here where every other little boy is called kayden!

all those boys' names ending in O sound ever so posh
Arlo
Cosmo
Hugo
Sholto
although Arlo sounds a bit more.....groovy than the others somehow

Araminta and Jonty. Oh and Binky of course!

Ivo
Really like Ottilie too, will have to be a future cat now

'Woody' is a great nickname for Edward.

as in a Woody in your trousers !?

Do people really think of an erection when you say Woody? That's suprising in a 1970's way

I would think of Toy Story.........is that just me?

Jolyon, Rufus,

Rufus is great, as is Quentin and Magnus!

Well, yes. Woody does also mean one of those

I love Barnaby and Woody but wouldn't consider posh. My ds nn is 'Woodie' (but a long 'oo' like Typhoo!) and his name is Jude!

Hepzibah - and Cosima - and Cosmo

I knew a posh boy called Martin but his posh friends just wouldn't have it that he was called Martin. They called him Monty. Which is fine, that's how nicknames work, but his wife told me 'they just couldn't bear to think of him having a pedestrian name' which made it rather pretentious in my book.
