Is George 'Posh'

[TravellingToad]

DH refuses to consider George because it's "posh"

We already have Henry & James, to put this in context.

Is George posh (or posher than H&J?) all...vote... NOW!

(thank you)

No George isn't posh. Henry is no longer really posh either as it's very popular everywhere now

George the steamroller is a very minor character in Thomas and Friends. I've read one book with George the steamroller in, but I can't remember seeing George in any of the episodes. (DC are big Thomas fans)

Anyway, Henry, James and George are all past kings of England, so I expect plenty of people will pick up on that rather than Thomas the Tank Engine.

Agree with PPs that Henry is posher than George, but all 3 names really fit best in the "timeless, ageless, classless" category.

I kind of agree that Henry is a bit posher than George (not sure why though) but I have uncles and cousins called George, Henry, James, Thomas etc and I am not from a posh background and am Irish. Classic normal names I would have thought rather than posh.

I also don't think George is any posher than James or Henry - and it's a lovely name. But the first thing I thought of when I saw the three names together was, unfortunately, the range of Nuumatic vacuum cleaners.

I've never thought of George as posh! Strange your husband thinks this if you already have a Henry!

George is less posh then Henry or James. It's quite middle class.

Two of those are my son's name and the third will be next son's name so I think they go very well together

I think they're all the same level of poshness but I'm American and what do I know

Henry is more like rupert. George is more like Alex

None of them are 'posh' at all.

I think Henry is slightly posher than George.

George goes really, really well with Henry and James.

So do;

Oliver
William
Charles

But George is the nicest.

I see them all as 'classic' names think they are the same level

Meant to add think they sound lovely as a sibling set :)

Yup, they go great together!

George is definitely not posh. (uncle and cousin named George) neither is James (Dad, stepdad, grandad, brother,)
not met a Henry yet though so I say that's the poshest.

No, not posh. It's one of those great classless names. Try guessing the social class of a George or a James...impossible. He could be working, middle or upper class.

When I was growing up 'enry was definitely a working class name, as in the boxer 'enry Cooper. Another example of names going up and down the social scale, I suppose.

It's the clothing department of Asda, so no, not terribly posh

Agree with PPs who say it is 'less posh' that Henry though.

I like Gerorge, DD1 would have been George. It goes very well with your other DS names.

George is an everyman name. Like Daniel or James.

Henry is definitely posher than George, so not sure of your DH's logic.

My east end grandad was George, so I say no. Just a good solid name :)

They are all strong, well known boys names. Not posh, but nice names!
