Help! Are these girls names nice- or poncy beyond belief?

[messydrawers]

Clementine
Cordelia
Augusta
Allegra

Any thoughts?

dd - 15 syllables

never ever use the middle name for anything though other than passports

can't bl* count. She has 10 syllables
10

No wait she alive, look breath stirs the feather...

oh no, sorry my mistake

lol ZZZen - surely middle names are only there to appease family members with a mention/passports AND for shouting in the park as explained above

oh, hold on, DD3 is actually known by her MN so I supposed I've just fecked my own argument

Oh don't Skiddodly - every single time I see that I wish that they had got there in time....

DD1 has 10 syllables - and I luuurve Cordelia, (specifically named from King Lear) - she has it as a middle name but I secretly hope she will adopt one of its many abbreviations when she is older.

well said whatwasthat again

Northern will it piss you off to know that I have a double barrelled first name - totally poncetastic in this house - fortunately DH is common as muck

Marie-Esperance?

Marie-Esperance Augusta Victoria Ridgeway-Smythe

Cordelia-Augusta

that might work

ah now you went too far, I don't have a double barrelled surname - although I suppose after only 5.5yrs of marriage its not too late to suggest it

you're not too far off with the first name lol

actually some of the names on OP's list go well together as first and middle name (not double-barreled)

Marie-Louise?

I've just added up my syllables and I can muster 8 - was 9 before I got married to dh-short-name

To add insult to no injury - my first name was as rare as hen's teeth in the mid 70s - not any more. A shortened version is v popular which means I frequently jump in supermarkets on hearing the name my close friends and family use bellowed in my ear by an enraged parent...

i like allegra

my sister in law is called cordelia.. she is very nice and not at all poncey, and often goes by the name of dee

Cordelia is growing on me

just not Clementine yet. Still seeing a little old lady rocking on a porch somewhere in America

Augusta could easily be one of Bertie Wooster's fierce aunts.

However, I quite like it.

Clementine is my fav, even if it's on the frilly side for me.

ZZZen - I wanted to have Clementine known as Tiny when she was wee and Cleo when she was a bit older but DH maintained he wouldn't have any daughter of his named after a fruit!!

I tried for Coco as a nn for cordelia but that fell on the 'not a hope in hell' pile as well

oh and I know my nn's are a bit on the stretching it side but they're my kids and I can call them pinky, perky and thumper if I want to

heck he's strict

I call my dd all names under the sun - chubby cheeks, boss, totally made up words

she has starting telling me off about it now though and keeps saying I have to use her real name. It's become such a habit though, hard to break it now

I quite like Cordelia

I'm working on Clementine, I'll come round in the end

Just keep hearing that "oh my darling..." "gone forever" "dreadful sorry Clementine" Can't remember all the lyrics though. Does she get buried in a mine?

enrich your life

something a bit annoying about that song, or is it just the voice?
