Examples of preppy boys names

[PSL1990]

Could you give me some examples of 'preppy' boys names? But nothing tooooo out there or uppity sounding e.g. Tarquinius or Horatio would be way too much for us!

Graham, Norman, Nigel

They're the opposite of preppy!

I have a Benedict Theodore. I'll be honest, we live in a well to do south Eastern market town where everyone has a 'preppy' name.
Other names within my family and my children's classes are
Sebastian
Hugo
Rupert
Barnaby
Samuel
William
Tobias
Thaddeus
Albert
Octavius
Marcus
Hector
Cosmo
Christopher

Oh and Chank

And Huff

Both my boys names have been mentioned already

Hector
Henry
Hugo
Milo
Sebastian
Rupert
Albert

Wiff Chet Box Chank and Huff??? Where are you getting these names??

DS assures me that two of the boys at his Prep are named Hippo and Mustard. I suspect they may have alternative names on their birth certificates though.... 🤔

clarinstunic Josh is not, in any way, 'preppy'. Not round here in the South east anyway. Every other boy is called Josh.

Josh, Chad and Brad are not at all preppy imo!

These have 'preppy' feel to them imo:

Marcus
Quentin
Sebastian
Hector
Cassius
Raphael

I like them all actually.

Hugo
Sebastian
Jago
Ludo
Henry
Albert
George
Rollo
Charles
Dominic
Christopher

Preppy people I know:

Andrew
Crispin
William (Wills)
Rupert
Ralph (pronounced the English way)
Benedict
Guy

Preppy rather than 'posh' to me, are names like:

Toby
John
Quentin
Orson
Otis
Lawrence / Laurence
Xavier
Rufus
Rowan

this is such a disparate collection of names that i am convinced that, like me, no one had any idea whatsoever what preppy means

I've had a think about the most preppy men I've know throughout my life. They were called the following:

Benjamin
Benedict
Peregrine
Rupert
Laurence
Louis
Frederick

Jonty (short for Jonathan)
Kit (short for Christopher)
Rupert
Tarquin

OP are you in the US? I’m not accustomed to the term ‘preppy’ being used in England - and most posters seem to be responding as if you had asked about ‘prep school’ which, here, means an independent school for children from around 7 or 8 to 13 years old.

I would say:

Hugo
Rufus
Rupert
Rory
Sebastian
Julian
Hector
Timothy
Edmund (very rare, this)
Toby

Not a bloody clue.

Dying at 'Box'...

Balonz
Harbottle

Monty
Ged (Gerard or Gerald)
