Jolly Hockey Sticks & Pony Club names (just for fun!)

[Pumpkinseedling]

For me the names that conjure up Jolly Hockey Sticks/Pony club images would be

Girls :

Harriet
Henrietta
Matilda
Clara
Joanna
Claudia
Rose

Boys:

Hugo
Jonty
Monty

Birth announcements in the Telegraph are a good place to start. 😀

The aim of this post is to make fun of names that are 'try hard posh' no?

That's not how I've taken it and I also have a Hugo who's nearly 15 now. I think it's funny how some of us are as I said upthread, guilty as charged!

My Hugo is actually a member of the Pony Club, he lives for it, and he and his brother George (also on 'the list' along with their middle names) had their births were actually announced in The Times and not the Telegraph as mentioned 😂 I don't feel mocked or annoyed just typical of my species and believe me I don't have the energy to try hard at anything right now even if I wanted to 😂 lighten up!

Arabella
Felicity
Beatrice
Jemima
Wilhelmina
Gwendolyn
Moira
Basically most of the names of characters in the Mallory Towers books 🤣

Henry
Timothy
Nicholas (only if he doesn't go by Nick, obviously)
Gregory

Feeling seen, my girls are Harriet and Philippa but go by Hattie and Pippa. Both have ponies, go to Pony Club.

Miranda

Cressida

Clarissa and Bill, surely?

Delilah and Bunty

Hector, Jasper, Barnaby.

Christopher but he goes by Kit
Tatiana

Bunty. I’ve known two, one child, one woman of about 60 who still owned about 20 horses. She was pure jolly hockeysticks and pony club. Old school hunting (I don’t approve but she did) fearless and mad as a hatter.
