Appallingly posh...

[Luckingfovely]

I thought all of you lovely baby name commentators would enjoy this

Think any of them asked here first...?

Those are amazing names! Poor children.

I love the fact that Gloucester Royal is considered posh enough to mention. So I must be posh as I've had 2 there and 1 in Cheltenham- even posher.

Bunker Otis! Farleigh and Barthololmea!

Fugly names but I guess all their classmates will be similar or worse so that’s something.

Ptarmigan Rose.

Can't see that name causing any headaches in her future...Nope. Definitely not.

And I'm not sure if 'Dionysus Cosmo Chaos brother to Hieronymous' is more lol worthy than 'Zebedee Ebenezer Jay, brother to, Badger'.

Oh the poshos are a glorious wheeze.

I bloody love Badger

I really like some of those names

Ok Bunker and Badger are a little strange (but not posh), but most of the other names are beautiful and interesting. Lots of European parents too.

Rather than being ‘appallingly posh’, I would consider some of these names quite trashy!!! Must be all about ones own experiences

My fave was Ptarmigan "born on a full buck moon"

Badger had me in fits of laughter. Some of the other names are quite nice but then they throw a rogue one in with them and it's suddenly awful.

little Ptarmy's gonna get shot down by dad often

And that's Rory Stewart the MP amongst them...

I really liked several of them

I thought they were rather good names. I may have used some of them myself (not Badger, though now wish I had). And none would be out of place at my DC's schools.

Badger might be a dog.

I love the Telegraph names!

Some beautiful names in there!

Makes a refreshing change from all the Archies, Ellies and Harrys.

Badger?

I can see that one steaming ahead in the rankings.

Gets coat

Maybe Badger is a pet dog?

I think Badger is a cute nickname, actually
