Want your child to be the poshest on the playground?
Want to set them up for a guaranteed career in corporate finance? Want to make it abundantly clear to everyone who is introduced to them that they’re just a bit well-to-do?
Well, why not give your child an upper class name?
One mum has divided the internet by asking for fancy name suggestions for her baby girl.
Taking to Mumsnet, she wrote; “Hit me with your upper class/well to do baby girl names that are still used today!”
The request divided fellow forum users, some of whom doubted the mum’s upper class credentials.
“Why does this matter to you? If you were upper class you would call your child what you like and not give a hoot.”
So are you old money and posh or wanting to be pretentious? Call your kid a name you like.”
There were some genuine suggestions though. Some were very cute, like Eleanor or Ophelia, but there were a few that we’ve never even heard of – Persephone, anyone?
Here’s the full list:
Ophelia
Serephenia
Persephone
Arabella
Camilla
Victoria
Lucinda
Octavia
Fenella
Eleanore
Bunny
Augustina
Clementine
Genevieve
Henrietta
