Those are amazing names! Poor children.

I love the fact that Gloucester Royal is considered posh enough to mention. So I must be posh as I've had 2 there and 1 in Cheltenham- even posher.

Bunker Otis! Farleigh and Barthololmea!

Fugly names but I guess all their classmates will be similar or worse so that’s something.

Ptarmigan Rose.

Can't see that name causing any headaches in her future...Nope. Definitely not.

And I'm not sure if 'Dionysus Cosmo Chaos brother to Hieronymous' is more lol worthy than 'Zebedee Ebenezer Jay, brother to, Badger'.

Oh the poshos are a glorious wheeze.

Ok Bunker and Badger are a little strange (but not posh), but most of the other names are beautiful and interesting. Lots of European parents too.

Rather than being ‘appallingly posh’, I would consider some of these names quite trashy!!! Must be all about ones own experiences

My fave was Ptarmigan "born on a full buck moon"

Badger had me in fits of laughter. Some of the other names are quite nice but then they throw a rogue one in with them and it's suddenly awful.

I thought they were rather good names. I may have used some of them myself (not Badger, though now wish I had). And none would be out of place at my DC's schools.
