Tory baby names?

What baby names strike you as names that conservative Eton educated people would name their children?
The boys are easy but it seems that baby girl names are difficult to think of...

Any suggestions?

(Am writing an article based on fictional conservative characters)

Thanks in advance!

I'm still hoping that little Sixtus Rees-Mogg will grow up to be a hardline Marxist who sells the SWP paper in Parliament Square. And I hope he has neck tattoos.

The Old Etonians I knew at university have called their daughters Arabella, Cosima, Clodagh, Florence, Harriet and Kitty.

Would help to know when your article is set and when these Tory children would have been born.

Having said that I don’t think you can ever go wrong with Arabella.

Agreed@mommybunny. The children I’m referring to are now aged between about ten and twenty.

Yep, definitely Arabella, also Clementine and Harriet.

Mind you, I am putting in "Percival" and "Veronica (Ronnie)"

Thanks everyone. You’ve all been really helpful!

As a significant percentage of prime ministers graduated from Eton...I’m compiling what names future prime ministers may have for my article.

There may be a future prime minister kitty!

For boys the names haven’t changed much.
