Full disclosure: the babies we are naming are hens, not humans, so no need to worry about school bullying or job applications

Obviously Henrietta is on the list, open to any and all suggestions

I sat next to a very unposh mum in the nail shop yesterday, who had a daughter named Arabella. All the will in the world and her social background won't make her posh despite her name. Made me smile at the mismatch

They are chickens. I don't think poultry-pedicure has caught on yet.

Is Henryetta posh? I didn't think it was really. Old fashioned maybe

Henrietta - The perfect hen name obviously!
Clara- Not nessary posh but I see this as a chicken name for some reason. Was there ever a Clara hen is some kids book/ TV programme????

The names of females from the traditional landed gentry old money that I have come across are:-
Camilla
Jemima
Elizabeth
Artimis
Cressida
Sarah- lots
Thomasina
Prudence
Cordelia
Diana
Jane
Maud

Add a non linked nick name to be properly "posh"
