Which of these is poshest?

[Dramagirl22]

Hi! I’m a 3rd year English Lit student writing (my first!!) play.
Which of these names is poshest? And if none, what are posh girls names please?

Claudia
Calliope
Beatrice

I think it depends a bit on what you mean by ‘posh’. All of the genuinely very posh people (families that have been wealthy and ‘important’ for generations) I know have got traditional, low key names. Alice, Sarah, Lucy, Catherine etc

I think Arabella is a bit of a stereotypical name for a fictional ‘posh girl’ so I would avoid that. Greek mythology names would work well if your character has got arty/creative/academic parents? But if they’re more the land owning type then I would go for something that’s been recently used by the royal family

Felicity or Verity might be good options too, if you wanted something a bit different?

I don’t think Arabella, or not anymore. Maybe a 50 year old Arabella is pretty posh but a 2 year old Arabella is just part of a big trend.

The poshest women I know are Corelia, Lucinda. Millicent, Constance, Henrietta and a Sarah.

Oh yes and a Camilla and a Celia. They are pretty old school posh families.

Have you tried something like this? www.name-generator.org.uk/character/

ooh or this one for posh names? www.fantasynamegenerators.com/posh-names.php

The first ones that I've got on here are Christiana, Juliet, Annabelle (uh oh), Cecile, Isla, Henrietta, Prudence, Zara, Stella (really?) and Georgiana

Both my daughters names listed here plus one of their nn
At my very posh girls boarding school in the 80's.. One poor individual had nn pussy... It had started when we were only 11, and very innocent.. But it stuck.
We also had a fizzy, tiggy, letty, minty, tavy,... Real names isabel, tabitha, lettice, araminta...

I've known two very posh Antonias, including one with royal connections

Lavinia.

Not sure why Vivienne has been mentioned - it's a common old ladies name!

The poshest person I know is called John

His DDs are Hannah and Georgina

The very, very posh people I know are called Lucy, Helen, Molly and Katy. Often known as Lu, Nelly, Mols and Kit. It's all about the abbreviation.

Poshest families I know have daughters called Caroline, Joanna, Sophie and Cordelia

The only Lavinia I ever knew was definitely not posh. She was very nice though.

@Happenchance

Araminta Lettuce Allegra Persephone

Even though I know how persephone is pronounced I read it as pursey-phone in my head every time before correcting myself

Common mistake. I once had a whole class tell me it was 'Percy phone' because that was how their teacher pronounced it.

Poshest person I ever met was called Thirza

Tracey
Karen
Sharon

I know a Thirza. She was a super posh old school librarian. Wonder if it’s the same person!

I work with the Young Posh on a regular basis, and I can confirm that my current Most Poshos are called:

Araminta
Molly
Annabel
Lucy
Alice
Cressida (Cressie)
Eleanor
Catherine

Oh yes and also known as Minty, Moll, Cressie, Nell, Katy and so on for short!

Beatrice
Not Claudia
Don't use the middle one you need something more well known!

What about a posh style nickname?

Kitty came into my head for some reason!

@Cazzovuoi

Lettuce?! Is that a typo?

Letice - girls’s name

How old is the character?

That makes a difference

Octavia
Charlie for Charlotte

Tango
Bunny
Bear
Sally
