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

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.

margoandjerry · 16/04/2008 15:05

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

or for something more modern:

Godot, God for short

Ulysses

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!

Twinkie1 · 16/04/2008 16:20

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

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