I agree. Very new money.

For old money, look at the royal family tree.

i just think of names from Downton that seem to tick your boxes 😂

Mary
Edith
Sybil
Marigold
Lavinia
Rosamund

Not from Downton but also fits the bill (you may have already listed some of these but it’s just of the top of my head)

Primrose
Araminta
Wilhelmina
Josephine
Meredith
Tabitha
Cressida
Miranda
Anna
Penelope

Definitely not Margaux. It's Margot. Or sometimes Margo.

Margaux is in the same league as Chardonnay.

Many of the names suggested don't strike me as being 'sophisticated' or 'old money'.
