Claudia
Isabella
Arabella

Xanthe
Romily
Lucinda
Tara
Natasha
Anastasia
Bryony
Kezia
Cassandra (Cassie)
Cressida
Lydia

Hugo
Ludo

Stanley
Rupert
Lucas
Jasper
Hamish
Tobias / Toby

Clementine
Ophelia
Cosima
Octavia

Although to be honest, the poshest people I know have names like Sarah, Anna, James etc.

How else should we describe such names? Classy? Elegant? Rather than 'Posh'?

I love Lettice but unless I was living in a Jeeves and Wooster book I know I could never use it.

I think Mary is quite posh now.

Harriet

These kind of names are my sweet spot. My sister has the same taste so my mum’s going to end up with a very posh sounding selections of DGCs 😂

This baby will be either Cressida or Ivo.

Hugo, Cosmo, Theodore.

Araminta , Cressida , Amabel

Ha snap buffalo!

Probably out of date but DC's private school classes:

Edward x 2, James x 3, Tom x 3/4, Will 3/4, Freddie x 3, Henry/Harry (soo many), George, Mark, Christian, Ben +, Sam +, Nick+ with a few Sebs, Tristans, Theo's thrown in, and of course the forrin ones.

Imogen x 4, Jess x 2, Maddie x 3, Alice (probably x 3 squared), Rosie ++, Elizabeth ++, Katie ++, Cicely, Tilly ++, Ellie, Poppy, Zara and add in a few Christabel's, Antonia's, Olympias and again the forrin/international set.

I love all these names!

Sorry if already mentioned (trying not to duplicate), but some I’ve met throughout life:

Aurelie (pronounced Au-RAY-lee)
Georgiana
Persephone

Lorcan
Struan
Cosimo
Merlin

@Pippilangstrumpfi Don't get wound up, I wasn't suggesting you call them anything else! Struggling to see how you could take umbrage at my comment tbh

Diggory

Gervaise

Piers

Benedict

Sholto

Honor

Miranda

Jacaranda

I went to a 'posh' uni less than ten years ago, the very posh people had these names:

Will/William
Freddie/Frederick/Fred
Ollie/Oliver
James/Jamie
Henry/Harry
George
Charles/Charlie/Chaz
Digby

Arabella
Georgie/Georgia/Georgiana/Georgina
Anna
Laura
Harriet/Hattie
Elizabeth/Lizzie
Emily
Clementine/Clemmie
Alice
Jemima
Lydia
Rebecca

I love all of these names.

The 2 poshest families I know have called their babies Androulla and Darcey

Love the suggestions, thanks all! Some gorgeous classic names in there, love, love!

Glad to see my DD has a posh name. We are actually very (materially) poor .

@justamumof1 rich in love, no doubt. Materials and money aren't everything. Family and love is everything and more ❤️❤️❤️ xx

@victorianbombshelter
Which are your favourites? Please tell!
Also thought of Clarissa. Great name.

Money really has nothing to do with it! Agree that love and moral values are far more important. I don't understand why only 'rich' people should use certain names

Well the rich dont really like the lower classes using "their" names.

Not sure where I read it, Freakonomics maybe, but middle/upper class names go out of popularity the more the lower classes use them...or something like that

If you refer to a child as a tot that puts you squarely at the down market end of naming I would have thought!

It is one of my pet hatrs, sorry! Tot is just awful.

@Movinghouseatlast I may use the first name Tot in that case but I'll be sure to use ‘offspring’ or ‘infants’ for any future posts not to offend you further. Thank you though, for not writing anything remotely helpful in response to my thread, I'm so glad you took the time to discuss that one work from the name of the thread to drew my attention to it. I'd never have considered it as a first name before now... Maybe I'll call her Tot Moving just after you 😉
