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

Not posh but with my first hens I went with all the Bs: Barbara, Beryl, Brenda and Betsy. I let the kids choose the next three hen's names. We had Daisy, Poppy and Maggie. Then the next three Hens had a Harry Potter theme: Hermione, Luna and Geraldine.

Great thread!
Though my name has come up half a dozen times which I don't think is a good thing (no it's not Araminta though this is a great name for a hen)!

Poshos that have appeared in my life:

Virginia
Cressida
Hester
Georgina (George)
Rosanna
Coco
Rosamund

Name changed for this…my name has also come up multiple times 😂 and it’s quite an unusual one! Then again I am quite posh I guess…wonder if we have the same name haha

Eggletina (The Borrowers) or Eglantine (Fr).

Portia / Porshe

Hmm
Interesting with these two names
Portia is very posh
Porsche is the complete opposite.

Oh we have had many Binkys, I didn't read assiduously enough. I learnt the name from Made In Chelsea. What on earth is it usually short for?

Cosima
Anunziata
Wilhelmina

DD2 has one of these names, DNiece has another and a friend’s daughter is a Jemima. I also have an Arabella, a Beatrix and a Cressida in my class this year.

We do live in a lovely village in a wealthy area of the SE but still, we are definitely not posh! I am a primary school teacher and DH is an ex firefighter turned tradesman. DSis is a PA and DBIL is a carpenter. Most parents of children at my school, including parents of the above named children, are generally pretty average people. I feel a bit odd now, wondering if everyone thinks we have given DDs (both have similar names) pretentious names…

Names that are truly posh to me are: Araminta, Bunty, Persephone, Wilhelmina etc.

@Timeturnerplease Don't worry, I am sure no one thinks you are pretentious. Many of these names are beautiful and stylish. All of the names on my girl's shortlist is here. I'm not posh at all either!
