I was at school with a Petronella. She had a double-barrelled surname too.

I know an Ignatius (brother to the equally saintly Augustine, Winefride and Benedict -- hi guys, you know who you are...)

Cate Blanchett just called her new boy Ignatius a brother for Dashiel and Roman

Pretty common names in some Catholic families, those last few. One of them is my son's name in fact.

My DS1's middle name is Wladislaw

Can't get much poncier than that. Ponciness it what middle names are for.

Threadworm · 17/04/2008 12:14

Actually, strictly it is Władisław. Even poncier.

Threadworm · 17/04/2008 12:15

Clearly this website does not support the ponciness of the Polish crossed 'l'.
