what are posh names then?

[strawberriesandcream01]

Just wondering? I have always liked Tabitha, Martha, sebastian. I know an Arthur and Monty. What would you class as a posh name and also as an embarrasing name!

And I went to school with a Martha who I believe now does glamour modelling.

Constance
Jemima
Annabelle
Quentin
Julian
Edmund

nah, Thea is just Gorgeous!

Thea is a georgous name, but my DC's would say Fea!

Peregrine (sp?)is posh, as is Hermione.

It's funny to read what people calss as a 'posh' name and what is not! Jemima and Imogen are quite popular around here. Where do some people get some of these names from?

How about Pandora and Jeanie (or Genie?) Bertie?

We have a "Tolemy" at DD's nursery, and he certainly isn't posh

had this convo last time i was proper drunk, over a year ago. fond memories.

proper sea going posh we all decided = any king, emporer, queen from europe, roughly anytime before america was discovered. william henry eleanor magnus margaret isabel marie jeanne blanche joan anne mary elizabeth of course, louis lambert hugh think i'll go and have a cup of tea now

I know 2 Hectors aged under 3 - not terribly posh, but quite arty parents...

India
Savannah
Ra (and other gods)

Think it might have been Antony and Cleo Cote

Ptolomy was her dad not the bloke who wrote histories..i think

Twinkie1, I think Raiff/Rafe is spelled Ralph when you are posh. And Ralph is pronounced Ralf when you're not.

There is a Ptolemy Dean who is an architect/TV bod who has an artist sister called Tacita - now THERE'S posh!

Theo is definitely not posh round these parts (quite the opposite). Rory, Imogen and Miles aren't either.

Tarquin & Horatio are definitely posh!

I like Ptolemy the architect bod.

Julian isn't posh!

Edgar and Humphrey are posh though.

Jonty and Rollo.

And hasn't Cate Blanchett called her little boy something strange like Alphonsius or something?

Rupert definitely (can you imagine surviving a normal school called Rupert . . .). Tarquin too by the same argument.
Also Piers - I lived in a Spanish village once which had two Piers (Piers's?) living there, both had been at Eton (plus an ex-Harrow bloke, but he was called David).
I think the locals had a slightly strange idea of what was normal for the English

Definitely Jonty
Tarquin
Octavia
Araminta
Hubert...

Hugh not so post in Scotland ("Shug/Shuggie").

Percival?
Horace (though a great name for cat ).

Or posh, even...

jonquil
jonty
annabella
tarquin (dh's choice)
Farquad-Remmington-Smythe-Davies (once again DH's suggestion)

Ptolomy is very posh.

Also

Rupert
Humphrey
Godfrey
Maximillian (never shortened)
Cuthbert
Edgar
Edmund
Quentin
Oswald
Gideon
Ignatius (step forward cate Blanchette)
Julius
Caspar
Augustus
Octavius

Jocasta
Cordelia
Calpurnia

Fenella
