Stupid disagreement with DH

[icecream2929]

So DH and I are having an utterly stupid disagreement about whether Ophelia or Cecilia is the posher name.
We have no plans to use either and this has literally come about as we were on our morning walk a few days ago and overheard a couple trying to decide between the two names, I assume for one of their children but who knows, maybe a pet or something.
The point is, this is so ridiculous. But anyway, which do you think is ‘posher’?

They're both the same - it's a draw

Ophelia is posher imo

Ophelia, definitely posher to me!

I think Cecilia sounds posher!

Ophelia is posher

Ophelia but only because I can't read the name Cecilia without the Suggs song playing in my head

Cecelia - definitely. Patron saint of music. Plus I follow a dodgy Insta influencer (who is a scam artist of the multi MLM variety) whose daughter's name is Ophelia so it has put me right off it.

Equal!

And I definitely spelt it correctly - Cecilia - it's my phone that's illiterate!

Ophelia is posher in my view

Ophelia for sure. Cecilia makes me think of the Simon & Garfunkel song whereas Ophelia is pure Shakespeare. Much posher connotation.

Yeah, Ophelia is posher.

Ophelia because you can only use it if you wouldn't snigger at the ophelia-up type jokes.

Ophelia is Shakespeare, rosemary for remembrance, drowned for love, nobody but the most hardened of "fuck-you" families would use it
Cecilia is Britten, best pair of nylons, also Simon & Garfunkel, used by my slum-dwelling distant cousins a century ago when it was quite popular

Ophelia by a long way!

It's also a dreadful name

I don't think either are posh.

Another vote for Cecillia being posher.
Maybe that’s because Ophelia is a name on my list and I’m definitely not posh!

Cecillia, purely because there are a fair number of toddler Ophelia's that I've run into in the last couple of years and the area I live in is not posh.

Thanks everyone! I thought Ophelia was posher simply because we know a Cecilia who isn’t posh at all but DH disagreed because he went to school with a posh Cecilia.
While you’re all here - do you think Claudia is posh? It’s another posh/not discussion that DH and I have had.

Claudia is not posh in my opinion

Ophelia is the posher, and Claudia is also posh. Perhaps even horsey.

Cecilia is posher imo as I only know chavvy women who have called their daughters Ophelia

Ophelia is very trendy at the moment, especially around the council estate where I grew up (not that there's anything wrong with that).

I'd say Cecelia is posher.

Both equally posh, but Ophelia is just starting to be claimed by the riff raff who don’t know their place, so soon it will be abandoned by the poshos. Cecilia will emerge victorious, as it is not yet commonplace to hear it screamed across Asda. And yes, Claudia is posh.
