Is Henry posh?

Is Henry a posh name?

Probably not so much anymore

Yes

No, not in the least.

No.

No. Very popular name at the school where I work.

No not at all

Nope I have a Henry and we are not posh

I know of three baby Henrys born recently, families not particularly posh! It’s definitely more mainstream now.

What does 'posh' even mean?

I have an 11 year old Henry I’d say it was a neutral name not posh.

It was very posh but not so much anymore.

Nope, very normal for any baby regardless of poshness

Nope!

Nope, very normal for any baby regardless of poshness

But how can a baby be 'posh' ?

This. Op are you worried you might catch ‘posh’?

No it’s a traditional name but not posh x

Neutral now. Might have been posh a good few years ago but no longer. Horrid Henry is not posh and those books have been around for ages.

No boring

Horrid Henry is not posh?

Seriously, what is this obsession with 'class'?!

No it isn’t. I mean it certainly isn’t “common” or “chavy” but it isn’t posh either.

That applies to most classic timeless names TBH. See also Daniel, James, Matthew, Elizabeth, Sarah, Lucy etc etc etc.

Port Out Starboard Home according to maritime lore I've been told...

Not anymore

Definitely mainstream. Neutral I think, like Thomas, James, William etc.

I don't think it was ever a name which belonged to a particular class tbh, so not entirely sure why pps are implying it used to be posh. I know Henrys in their 60s and 70s who are definitely not posh.

Certainly not posh. It's my son's middle name, named after his very working class great grandads.
