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]

fabulous, isn't it?

Ponce?

i.e Jane Ponce Smith

Baby Pottington-Smythe G has a certain ring to it.

Rollo

Ooh, I like Ozymandius

Casimir

Antigone (shortened to Tiggy, of course)

Santa

Iollo

Parsifal? Wagnerian (musically elitist) and sounds like something that might nearly be a real poncy name.

Crispin.

I know of someone who was christened thus and then changed his name to Genghis when he was in his teens.

OK, of this list so far I know or have known:

Araminta
Crispin
Ptolemy
Tarquin
Candida
Cressida
Rafaella

God, I am practically living in a Saki short story. Feel quite embarrassed actually.

Am off to buy limescale remover in Tesco to redress the balance.

Ulysses/Odysseus
Achilles
Zeus
Agamemnon
Aphrodite

etc, etc,

or for something more modern:

Godot, God for short

Ulysses

"thats my lo name, thanks"

(Ulysseeeee-eeeee-eeeeeees - anyone else remember?)

In a way I wish we'd called ds1 Kingston as his middle name as a keepsake of the place he was born. We thought everyone would laugh at our ponciness, though, so went for a dull but safe one. Depends on where you live though!
Dh's second middle name is also a place name, but a family name too - so the place connection is only understood by those who know the family well. The tradition is the second born son gets that one though. So we broke that tradition too! We are such 'raidy cats!

Oh god - what has Tony Adams called his son I see to remember that was uber poncey!

how do you pronounce Artaxerxes?

Didn't cate Blanchett just call her baby Ignatious? Ponce!

Abednego

Persephonie sp Actually I quite like it

Ruskin - means a red head headed warrior of war

Oh yes!@Legoleia

Ulyssess is great

I have dealt with estate agents called Titus and Cornelius . I kid you not.

Someone I know has a Montgomery and a Barclay. Poncetastic.

Barclay? Poor kid.

Thor
Woden
Saturn
Digby
Quintin
Mordred
Reynard

Fenella
Tinkerbell
Delphine
Hollyhock
G uinevere
Brunehilde
Aristovia

I used to know a Titus, Mervyn Peake's grandson in fact. He was, um, something of a tearaway.
