Are Casper and Kit posh names?

[user772263]

I mentioned these two names in passing to a friend and she made a quick remark that they’re “awfully posh”. It took me by surprise as I didn’t think so! I thought of them as similar to George - classless/used by all.
We’re in South West London, if that makes any difference!

Yes.
Straight out of a Jilly Cooper novel.

Yes, very posh.

We’re in South West London, if that makes any difference!

Greenwich or Croydon, because that DOES make a difference.

Yes. London has its own fashions for baby names Londoners will say that a certain name is 'everywhere' yet in another part of the country no-one uses it.

There are quite a few C/Kaspers round my area in London. Kit is nice , but makes me think of the guy from Game of Thrones .

The Caspers I know are generally of Eastern European heritage (although usually spelt differently)

We’re SW3!

Yes. At least, the only ones I know are the sons of very well off families.

I know a family with a Caspar and similarly named siblings. Did strike me as tryhard 😂

No, not posh or working class. They are in that mid range

Maybe once, but not anymore. The only Kits I know are lovely little boys from working class families; the only Casper I know is too. They’re becoming much more used by all different groups. I like them both.

I'm from oop north. Casper is definitely posh. Didn't think kit was as tho.

Yes, posh. Especially if Kit is Christopher, eg Kit Marlow.

Not round here no, were very popular during pandemic.

I've always loved the name Kit, but as my DD is Tabitha I think Kit for DS is a cat too far lol 😆

Go for it with the names, they're both nice

Besides the point, but Greenwich and Croydon aren’t in South West London.

I’m from SE London and agree that London does names a bit differently. I would say you’re more likely to encounter names thought “posh” elsewhere across the board here. I think Kit is lovely, and not posh at all.

They used to be but not any more.

And you're wondering if you're posh? Bless.

Casper, yes. Kit, no

The rooneys have sons called kit and cass. There’s a very well known soccer casual from the 80s, West Ham I think though don’t quite me on that, called cass too.

Absolutely not.

Casper - definitely
Kit - possibly

The Rooneys have a Kit, and a fashion blogger has a Casper, so no.

Casper is posh, at least it is in the UK

I know a Casper. Parents are not posh

Those names are fairly classless in London.
