Hi!
Looking for fancy/upper class/posh boys names!
I know I know, 'class,' but need them for a middle name list.
Thank you :-)
Examples include Rupert etc.

@ElaineMarieBenes, Tasker isn't welsh. No K in Welsh, and it's an occupation surname - Task+er.

Middle name suggestion is Peregrine.

The very poshest males I know (titles, large estates, certain amount of inbreeding) are all called things like Andrew, Peter, Thomas, Edward. So the antithesis of fancy. Middle names often have a family geographical context, say Arundel but always have a 'reason' (ahem, snobbery).

The next rung down (bit of poshness plus usually some trade) are where it gets more fun - I know two Lysanders (a bit to my surprise, both rather like their names and are perfectly nice people).

Miles, Piers, Hector are all kind of ok (in my warped perspective)
