Posh tot names please

[victorianbombshelter]

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

Jonty is just an abbreviation of Jonathan, so Not Posh.
For boys, top posh must include - Auberon, Peregrine (v much depends on your surname!), Wyndham

I knew a Mungo. Why his parents would do that to a child is anyone's guess...

Actually, @victorianbombshelter, Tot makes a pretty good posh nickname for a girl along the lines of Bunty, Binky, Fleabag and Tinks.

The most properly posh family I know have an Emerald, which was roundly declared 'trashy' on another thread a few days ago. Context is all!

Emerald to me is the opposite of classy. And it doesn't matter how rich the parents are!

Lots of people will agree with that. It's therefore not what the op is looking for

My favourites from your list are -
Beatrice
Camilla
Edward
All of which are my names that my immediate family have, so I may be a tad bias. Either way they are lovely names!

@goingoverground 😂 very good point. It's top of my list now!

@sweetnosugar yes they are definitely classic, beautiful names, which I love. DH would like to be ever so slightly more adventurous in our choices but I really do love them xx

I've nannied for some proper posh families in my time. I've had a:

Humphrey
Ophelia
Stanley
Macaulay
Edith
Cecily
Margot
Ottilie
Emmeline
Miles
Rupert
Wilbur

And a Charlie, but pronounced 'Chaarrleeee' in a very upper-crust accent.

Oh, and a Dolores

The society pages are filled with Sarah, Emily, Sophie and other very blank cardboard/classic names.

I've met some very non-posh parents with a Xavier, Felicity, Miles, Percy.

So...

I have a Felicity! tickled to see it comes under posh.

We aren’t posh though, well DH is a bit-he went to a well known public school. I have a horse which non horsey people think is posh but horse people know it just means skint and permanently grubby....and we are very skint.

I like

Beatrice/Beatrix
Ottilie
Eliza
Pippa
Allegra
Verity
Harriet
Alexandria

Sebastian
Theodore
William
Alexander
Rupert
Edward
Charles

Lysander
Rupert
Cosmo
Agatha
Tabitha
Ferdie

Emerald Fennell is my only association with this name and she's terribly posh! Mind you it doesn't really give off that vibe when you first hear it.

Both my DDs' names are on here multiple times.
I'm forrin and a total anglophile, and DH is working class Northern, but we live/work in a milieu with a lot of very UC people so I think this style just rubbed off on us. I love DDs' names but they also strike me as slightly ridiculous at the same time I just have such a soft spot for the "posh Brit" names.

My DC have cardboard classic names because we have a long and oddly pronounced surame. To have given them first names that were unusual or which had alternative spellings would have been cruel. They have simple, two syllable names.

@victorianbombshelter
My favourites on your list are Octavia, Ophelia and Alexander.
Also thought of Conrad.

They have simple, two syllable names.

Two syllable names don't have to be boring and common.

Most names on this thread are 2 syllables. I love most of them.

@PhoenixBuchanan yes, I love the posh Brit names! I'm eager to know your DC names, if you're happy to share? x

I'm not sure The Telegraph is a good measure of 'posh' these days.

@victorianbombshelter they're Jemima and Romilly. I also named them to go with their very boring, plain surname. If it was a longer or more complicated surname, I'd have gone with plainer first names!

Eloise
Josephine
Lucia
Clementine
Genevieve
Beatrice
Alicia
Theodora
Adelaide
Dorothea
Thomasina
Phoebe
Cordelia
Evangeline
Clara
Olivia
Ophelia
Imogen
Olivia
Audrey
Eliza
Evelyn
Persephone
Adeline

Aren't the 'poshest' people called things like 'Piggy'?

I love posh names too! I'll PM my son's name
