I think I'm going to go uber poncy for unborn baby's middle name. What is the PONCIEST name you can think of?

[MamaG]

Horatio

No one's going to say,cause the next post will be "thats my lo name, thanks"

Wilhelmena

I heard about a baby called Nimrod. Will that do?

Good point JB

Cornelius is good

Marmaduke?
Balthazar?

Fortnum
Harrod
Boden
Debenham
Ferrero
Krug

These are obviously all girls names.

I don't care who post's, no one should be allowed to call a child NIMROD,thats cruel

Algernon

tarquin
ignatius
lettice

or for full ponce:

ponsonby

how did I know this would be your thread MamaG?

My dh wants Wolf or Vlad for a boy. Nice names, but not for me!

belgo! You did NOT know that was me

Wilberforce
Augustus
Peregrine
Bertram
aloysius

I've heard of a little boy having his name changed by his parents at age one. From Ethan to.......

Tolstoy!!!

A friend of mine called their baby Zoltan (second middle name) - perhaps not poncy enough, but certainly different

They got the name from an eastern european coffee server at a service station!

Candia
Gervase
Ildiko
Petronella
Sophronia
Thaddeus

NB, I am not saying these names are loathesome, just fancy

Well if I felt the need to be a bit poncey, I might go for Augusta, Honoria or Octavia.

Quite like Honoria and Octavia btw. Nothing wrong with the names per se but they have that slightly poncey edge to them - to my ears anyway

No idea about boys

Artaxerxes
Arcturus
Clorinda
Athelstan
Wilgefortis

Zoltan sounds like an ultra-powerful, probably carcinogenic, headlice remedy.

Isn't Zoltan a brand of suncream?

isn't Zoltan the evil chap out of Flash Gordon?

Nimrod Ping was the name of a local councillor round our way. He died a few years ago, but was by all accounts a lovely and clever man. Bizarre name has to be said though.

What about Halcyon or Zebedee or Zed (all real name in use around here...).

I just googled the name and it seems to be Hungarian and means "life" so that's quite nice

Zoltan that is
