Basically posh names that aren't very common. I can't think of what the girls names equivalents would be. Ideas?

It makes it anachronistic.

They're certainly not established 20th c upper class names let alone 21st c.

Henrietta? Georgiana? Genevieve?

If you like Honor, what about Patience/Grace/Harmony/Prudence?

@TatianaBis

Depends how you spell Vivien

It really doesn't.

😄

It does matter.

Lots of french words such as serviette and toilette and blouse sound off English. Same with names, juliet over juliette, vivien over vivienne.

No matter how you spell Vivien/nne it is definitively not posh.

PoliceDogWoof · 16/06/2021 22:39

Sigh.

The name Vivien is no less "posh" than most of the ridiculous names listed on this thread.

If you want to disagree again, go ahead. Im so bored now.

TatianaBis · 16/06/2021 22:48

So bored - you're replying again?

It's a downmarket name, never met a posh Vivien in all my life.
