Posh, three/four syllable names for girls?

Names similar to Arabella, Ophelia, Clementine etc.

That’s all really!

Claudia, Evangeline etc came to mind as well but I don’t think they’re quite as ‘posh’, but maybe I’m wrong?

Also should add - this is for a piece of writing - so feel free to give all the suggestions you can. No real babies are being named here! The ‘posher’ the better.

This sounds like something you use to banish mould - please don't anyone call their child this - ever!

Both of my daughter's names are mentioned multiple times on this thread. It had never occurred to me they were "posh" names.
