Suggestions for posh sounding baby names?

Okay, I know some of you will think this is stupid, but what are some suggestions for baby names that sound a little bit snobby / pretentious / posh? I think names that are conventionally "snobby" tend to sound better when a child is an adult. Example: "Madeleine Albright"


Any suggestions will be appreciated :)


Oh, and our last name begins with an "A".


Thanks in advance!

PORTENTIA TRUFFLEBOTTOM!!!





Seriously, it is NEVER posh to give a female a middle name. Upper class, WASP women simply do not have them. When and if a lady weds, her maiden name becomes her middle name. Ladies do NOT get middle names. That is only a boy thing. Nicknames on the other hand, are almost de rigeur among the horsie set. Now that we have that out of the way...Katherine, Helen, Elizabeth...
Reply:Probably the 'royal' names would be a place to start.





E.g





Elizabeth


Victoria


Alexandra


Eleanor


Alice


Beatrice


Margaret (ick!)


Arabella


Caroline


Helena





If you want them to have a 'full name' as an adult these fit your criteria but can also be shortened for a child. i.e Lilly, Lizzy, Lil, Betty, Beth, Vicky, Alex, Ellie, Maggie etc.
