Sapphire - chavvy or posh?

[ThePartyArtist]

Debating the name Sapphire with a friend, she puts it firmly in the 'Chardonnay' camp and I consider it posh, more akin to Cordelia or Jacinta. What do you think?

I don't care for Topaz but it reminds me of the eccentric stepmother, who liked to commune with nature with naked walks in the countryside, from I Capture the Castle. Sad to hear it has the 'common' tag

[RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime]

Opal. That's nice. P rather than C I think.

Or Turquoise. Pronounced 'Toorkwahz' obv.

[RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime]

Victoria is different, the emphasis is not on the 'ia' unlike Sophia and Maria.

Oh yes, I remember I Captured The Castle. She wore a tea dress and I had no idea what that was.

I think it reads as very much not posh unless the Sapphire is visibly and unmistakeably posh enough to carry it off.

It screeches exotic dancer...
It's a reverse, isn't it?

[ceebelle83]

Too tacky for words.

Slightly off topic, but I met a very posh Fuschia Fucshia Fuchsia the other day.

I'm so bored of this English class thing. It's really just a free pass for people with no class to feel good about themselves and look down on other people.

How about Saffron much more sophisticated.
