Total toff/posh boys names anyone?

[LetItGlow]

I really like them! But, the ones I can think of have to many fault, despite my love for them.

Piers - reminds me too much of Piers Morgan

Rupert - Reminds me of Rupert the bear, plus, you can only shorten it to Roo!

Any ideas?

P.S, please not Tarquin

Edmund
Alastair
Percy
Monty
Gabriel
Raphael

I was being a sarcastic arse. Your last but one post suggested you had an aversion to your child having a name used by working class people. Having seen your latest update I realise I misread your tone, apologies.

I love the name Percy (Percival) though now DS1 is obsessed with Thomas and Friends I don't think it'll be an option if we have DS2.

Rollo (and think it's lovely)

Well Rollo was a king after all!

(I think his glorious reign was from 1978 - 1982)

Barrington

August/Augustine (just met the latter and knew of the former for ages)

Both go by Auggie.

I've also met an Iver.

I have a Rupert we shorten it to Ru

Herbert or Giles. or Rafe ...frightfully posh!

I met a Caspian who was dreadfully posh.Great name. Also know a ST John and a Piers.
Poshest person of all that I know is called Paul.

The poshest person I ever met was called Aeneas (careful how you say that)....

although in your boots I would be more concerned about the child's father being your 'DH' as opposed to a DP...Especially if he is a 'very well off stock broker'.. Unless you are a fantastically more independently wealthy than DP and don't care that he is not your next of kin...in which case crack on with a prep school full of Jonty's, Hugo's , Christopher's (definitely not Chris) Rupert's and Giles's.

I've known a Rupert and he was known as Rupe to his friends. Rupe the Stroop to me & mine - Stroop being slang for penis, in case that needs translated!

Did someone just suggest Baldrick? 😂

Who in their right mind is calling their kid St. John ?

Yes but the person that mentioned Baldrick also mentioned Kenneth and Rafferty so it's safe to assume they have a sense of humour.

DP and I have decided on 'Hugh'

Hugh is ace (family name).

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Julian! I had never met one till I went to Cambridge. I had a lovely and very posh Orlando in my year.

I know noone posh but I like a bit of history.

One of the oldest dukedoms is that of Norfolk. Trusting to internet search engine in tbe absence of being acquainted, the current duke has name Edward and his heir is a Henry. Inspirational?

As long as your surname doesn't start with j/g Hugh is fine!

The Hugh Janus effect

bendor is a grosvenor family name, pronounced 'ben dore'.

my godson is rupert. we call him 'little 'bear'. incredibly cute, but probably just as well that he's down for eton.

only the aspirational classes go in for these sorts of names by the way. really posh people call their sons 'john' or 'robert'.

ForHarry Look on the Peerage for inspiration. I like a bit of posh too

Louis and Hugh are good old fashioned non-royal toff names. Also Guy, Adam, Gordon, Patrick.
