About this list
Posh baby names reflect the upper class in Britain over the last thirty years based on peerage birth announcements. These names are uncommon choices in Britain except for among the upper class where they are well used.
How does a name become posh? Centuries of use by royalty, minor and major, certainly can get a name considered posh, but many royal names are standards like William and Charlotte, so widely-used over so much time that they defy any class labels.
Quirkiness helps, but medieval literature and ancient Roman history quirkiness, not a love for ukeleles and anime. So, Beowulf and Cassius are posh names; Ruckus and Cash, maybe not. Old names usually trump new names, but a weird kind of reverse posh can sometimes make a name like Coco feel posh.
There are many more names that might be considered posh than are on this list. What's here are only the names that are quantifiably given in outsized numbers to upper-class children. But Scheherazade and Huckleberry, we're pretty sure you're posh too.
