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]

Weren't there 2 brothers Hugo and Ego Charteris c WW1?

How do you pronounce Ptolemy?

Clovis is a very popular french name I think (think Cloveeees)...

silent P. As in Psmith

Tolemy.

Gustavus

You know you want to

mmmm, Wulfstan....

You just know it would be shortened to Stan once he grew up(unless he was excessively hairy...)

DD wants her baby sister (if it's a girl) to be called Melody - bit Disney, I feel.

Clovis, yy - which leads us on to Dagobert...

I know an Elgar and Matisse. Again, lovely names but very high expectations!

I can't get past Clovis. DH would NEVER agree hehehe

Egbert

I rather like the cod Saxonisation that is Eadweard (Muybridge eg)

You never know, I think I may have convinced DH re: Gustave

(potential DC2 I should stress)

Oooh, minds rummaging through 1066 and All That I think Effie...

definitely get past Clovis

Wasn't there an Eadfrith?

How about "Chief Executive Officer"?

Or "AllPowerful"

erm... I'm off to think of some more.

here you go

I wanted Basil as a middle name for ds but was overruled on the grounds of "drug intoxication" (I had a spinal FGS )

marion
spencer
evelyn

all for boys natch

DH's grandfather was called Gustaaf. He's just died and I'd like to use it as a second name if we have a boy. I also really like it as a first name.

Ah yes how about "TheAlmighty"

I'd forgotten the Unrest Cure was a Clovis story. Utter genius. Especially the armed boy scouts in the garden...

Parsifal
Galahad
Kundry

anglo-saxon is good on the poncey stakes, maybe not Willibald, Willibrord etc but Ewald and Winibald even Walpurga for a girl and all the rest of them. They don't SOUND great but still...
