From reading MN posts we seem to be drawn to posh, pretentious and snobby names (as called by users), I like them personally. Looking for some more suggestions for DS/DD please x

for starters, nothing touches them.

(I think these are just educated aspirational mc names though, the real posh names are always super simple like Elizabeth, Margaret and Mark and Charles)

Just found my name on here and I grew up on a council estate 😂😂

They tend to have quite normal names.
Yesterday's Birth Announcement has an Eliza Rachel. Her parents are an Earl and Countess.

MikeUniformMike · 24/05/2020 19:02

Having said that, a well known historian and his aristocratic wife have a Wolf and a Zia.

@Blackcountryexile Lettice?! Youve got to be joking 🙈

Lavenderblues · 25/05/2020 07:48

They tend to have quite normal names.

But the op doesn't want normal names. That's why she started a thread.

How about

Sebastian
Magnus

Antonia
Clarissa

daisypond · 25/05/2020 07:56

Lettice ?! Youve got to be joking

Why? It’s a very old and normal name, related to Letitia. I know one. Not common these days.

victorianbombshelter · 25/05/2020 08:26

Where are you finding the aristocratic birth lists? Are you referring to the telegraph birth announcements?

Some great suggestions so far, do keep them coming x

All or most of these names can have some nice nicknames for babyhood or teen years if your child doesn't want to use the longer name too which is quite practical...
