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.

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