Posh girls names?

[lilacsandlillies]

Hi! Can you list the poshest girls names that you know?
thank you. Have a great day!

The ‘poshest’ families I know have children named:

Coco
Louisa
Annabella
Verity
Esther
Joanna
Lucy
Imogen

Octavia
Ophelia
clementine (clemmie)
Aurielle
Araminta
Saskia
Verity
camilla

Just look at the royals

Catherine
Elizabeth
Beatrice
Eugenie
Sarah
Diana
Sophie
Charlotte
Anne
Mary
Margaret

The ‘proper’ royals tend on the whole to have relatively plain names - they don’t distract, they’re not quirky, they’re appropriate in any setting. They’re also not that interesting or exciting but I don’t think that’s a bad thing - you can’t really go wrong with them.

Kayla and Madison absolutely not posh!

I don't know if it sounds posh but I love Mila and Liliana :)

Alice
Sophia
Anna

Clementine
Brontë
Cecillia
Charlotte
Marie-claire
Jeniffer
Fiona
Beatrice

Nancy, Ottie, Amelia, Anabelle, Alice, Saffy, Lola, Maddy, Tabby, Grace, Olivia, Daisy, Flo, Mathilda, Lara, Eliza, Jemima,

Slightly off topic but does anyone know why so many of the DT announcements have random surnames (not the mother’s maiden name) as a middle name? Eg the top one has Livingstone, further down you’ve got Fisher, Tillman and Osgood. I’ve never figured out if it is eg the grandparent’s maiden name or some strange trend 😅 maybe that’s the key to a posh name!

Family name.

Something classic, but with a nickname like Muffy or Biffy. The sillier, the better.

I like the person who's maiden name was 'Baker Baker'

Ooh, hats off to the PP who suggested Telegraph birth announcements

...a son, Barney Bear, a brother for Tiggy and Effie

Agree with a pp.

The posh people I know (in their twenties and thirties) are called either things like Poppy, Anna, Georgia, Laura, Katherine, Emily, Jane

or

Mariella, Cosima, Cressida, Clementine, Arabella, Olympia.

There is no in between!

Poshest I've met...

Lucinda
Natasha
Jacintha
Jocasta
Timothy
Aubrey
Dominic

Has no-one mentioned Nigella?

Re the telegraph announcements, not only do you have to choose posh names,but your child has to have at least 2 names (a bit amateur), 3 names (learning fast) or 4 (full on posh), as well as their surname.

Verity is the first one that comes to mind

Cressida
Clarissa
Henrietta

I give a slow handclap for originality to Charles Cheever Hardwick IV, who has named his son you guessed it Charles Cheever Hardwick V.I wonder what the graddad's called? (joking!)

Lettice
Cecilia
Ceccily
Bunty
Georgiana
Kitty
Henrietta
Alexandra

Oh, and if your surname is a doublename, so much the better.

Pity Scarlett Arabella Gillian Emilia de Ferry Foster, or Bertie-Fox Burlington Leo Dodd-Noble (oo look - Burlington Bertie!) when they are obliged to give their full name as an adult, using those little boxes on forms - there won't be enough little boxes!

Some of these names are just so ugly. Minty for example. Eugh

My daughter was nearly Juliet which I don't think is super posh but it wouldn't not be either.
The uk v insular in these threads, no idea what neighbouring countries use.

Effie sounds like a swear word.
Where's that effing xxxx

Yes I knew a Carrot and a Topsy

The poshest person I know -in her 60s - is called Harriet.
