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!

Candida
Malaky
Cordelia

Candida? Not the one I knew.

Cornelius.

Flavia.

Cornelius? Not the Corny I grew to know and love. He was a scally.

Hortense

Tuppy

Barnabus

Tuppy is so adorable but is it a real name?

How did Muhammad Ali get to be a posh boy? He started out as a Cassius, didn't he?

Surely no-one would call their child Calpurnia?! Though if shorted to Nia it would be OK... But sounds too medicinal, like Calpol.

Same goes for Malaky, sounds too like malarky...

Snort at 'Tuppy'.

Torquil
Ptolemy
Jonty
Hugo

Verity

Calpurnia = To Kill A Mockingbird

Aubrey

Calpurnia was the wife of Julius Caesar too.

Griff

Aloysious

Crispin
Quintin

Esmerelda
Delphine

Jeanie is a crusty old nick name, I knew of one growing up, quite the opposite of posh imo. Jean is better, at least it is a proper name.

Imogen and Jemima are nice but no longer the preserve of the posh.

Bunny (I think of Bunny Guiness)

St John

Arabella

Tristan
Jeremy
Monty
Jonty

Tiggy
Camilla

Edwin

Jean isn't posh, or Jeannie

Boys' names ending in o are posh
Milo
Hugo
Ivo
Rollo
etc

Also Evelyn for a boy
and Dorian

Anything from the Greek myths (Persephone, Cyclops, Medusa etc)

Anything from classic literatire so long as it is fairly obscure
