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]

Are you talking about The Lumber Room Effie? Did that for O' Level. And Saki lived on my street (ponce emoticon)

I know a Ptolomy.

If I had a son he would definitely get a poncy name. I'm thinking Montgomery or Montague or Horatio. Or Constantine. Or Clement. Or Immanuel.

I have no idea Marina, really.

I remember calling her (though didn't know the sex then) when I was 6 mths pg on hol in San Francisco

it stuck briefly postnally too - have pic of us on beach in suffolk with name written in sand

no (luckily)

I should prob be thankful that DH isn't promoting Boris for a boy

sorry, bit slow

I wish we had done Saki for A level. Far better than Return of the Sodding Native

don't know if foreign names necessarily sound poncey but old-fashioned ones sometimes do because they're no longer common

actually that doesn't make sense at all since foreign names wouldn't be that common either.

Well what I (think I) meant was when I was pregnant I was thinking about Allegra for dd but dh was absolutely not having it because he said it just sounds ridiculous. Ok well maybe he was right. I also liked the sound of Venetia but he found that daft too and I think actually it wouldn't have suited dd. Don't think those names were necessarily poncey though

Joquasta

Albus

albion

Montague

for a boy or a girl.

Love Cornelius, in fact maybe I will steal it for d? when the time comes.

How about something Latin....Juvenal, Ovid or Aristole?

My Dad knows a baby Boudica. No, really.

Gloriana

Aquinas

Bovington

Fanshawe (spelled Featherstonehaugh, obv)

Xerxes

I knew someone called Xerxes Cyrus Mazda. Which is very cool

Basil v.g.

I knew a Basil Fagg at college - a most poncetastic combo.

Cyrus makes me think of Billy Ray Cyrus and his Achy Breaky Heart - and now you'll all be singing that all afternoon

River Fox (followed by a very common surname) is the ponciest name I have heard in RL.

Orlando, Alcuin, Lucretia, Demelza

Algonquin- like the mountains

Ozymandius

Dezmeralda

Boden
Julian

Atalanta
Raephella

Cressida
Antigone
Araminta

Blythe

Araminta is almost off the ponceometer scale.
