Whats the most middle class poncy childs name ever?

[joshleb]

On the dog tone I have a friend called Digby, did previously have a dog called that too.

I have a couple of friends with family members with eccentric names, including:
Montague
Leopold
Augustus
Solomon.

All pretty strong names.

I will be honest, I do love a bit of Tarquin!

Have I slipped into a parallel dimension in which the long-running "stupid names" thread never happened?

It should be spelled 'Titus'.

A good old fashioned name dating back to Roman times.


Unless perhaps the guy you referred to was nick-named 'Tight Arse'?



Pretentious middle-class poncy child's names?
Montmorency. Cholmondeley. Ffanny. Corkie. Theresa-May. David. Tryffydd.
Ambiwlans. ChemicalChaos . Sossidge.

I've met two Tarquin over my many years, the first made Tim nice but Dim seeming interesting, dreary in the extreme. The second was a uber-tt, pronounced his own name with audible K and silent U instead of Q, but constantly picked others up that tried to ape his pronunciation.

Some pretentious twonk on the Jeremy Vine show the other day managed to shoehorn his kids names in, Felix and Rufus, all whilst talking about dog st.

Probably Titus, as in Titus Andronicus etc...

I have a friend with three children called:

Artimis Dragonfly, Horatio Harrold and the third is Vivien. I lost interest on the last one but it's going to have several really embarrassing stupid (for the poor child) middle names.

An acquaintance named his boy Echo. Poor kid.

This is supposed to be about posh stupid names. Unfortunately it seems beyond the comprehension of a goodly proportion of posters who are posting chav names anyway.

Good old Samuel. The kind of one that corrects you if you call him Sam or Sammy.

Or Sebastian.

[Spanglepants]

I knew someone called Storm, year or two older than myself so mid 50s. Not middle class either.

In which case, my son is named Maximilian. Does that count?

I knew there was a quip in there somewhere, too early in the morning, too slow

I know a bloke with two kids, Torquil and India (no idea if that's how they are spelt).

He's an investment banker.
