Rich people names

triple-M

while talking to a colleague in work the other day he was telling me about a night out he went on with his friends,now most of his friends would come from wealthier families than most of us but when he told me his friends names I thought they were such typical rich people names.such as, Cornelius,Reginald and clifford,im just wondering if anyone else has any wealthier friends or knows of someone with wealthier friends with rich people names that are kinda mad

Any double barrelled names sound amazing pretentious.

Sorry
If it's any consolation, I was meant to have a double-barrelled name, but my dad 'forgot' when he was registering me.

I find names like Charlotte, Emily, Elizabeth etc. to be 'posh people' names

Popular 'rich' people names become the most popular poor people's names after about 10-15 years.
Interesting chapter on baby names in a book called Freakonomics.

Anyhow, the real problem is when the kids with double barrelled names start marrying each other. :-/

Oh I meant surnames.

Double-barrelled first names aren't too bad.

Second names of course. Double barralled first names are found on council estates.

I believe they are fine names. It's like a usual name, yet not a usual name. People have heard of a Richard before, but not often. People know/have heard a million Johns and Jacks.

Dick! Is there a finer male name? First of all, your male friends call you Dick, immediately women assume that's your nickname because of your robust crotch. It also makes people wonder how "Dick" is another name for Richard. A mystery indeed.

A silly assumption brought into popular view by a recent popular movie. I know many a Richard from a middle-class society. However, they are fine, well-mannered, fit, strong, intelligent people whom everyone I know loves very much.

Cheerilee

its not the english names its the makey upey uber irish names you find in the ahem wealthier areas of ireland
Sneachta and Fuinneog etc etc:pac:

Cupcake_Crisis

I always wanted to be called Tarquin. It sound utterly protensious!

Krieg

I find its the common names, but the rich don't shorten them like normal folk
Like Geoffrey for example, a middle class Geoffrey will likely be called 'Jeff' 99.9% of the time, but if he were upper class he would only go by Geoffrey.

Apart from that- Roderick, Aloysius, Rupert, Merideth

I'm sure the same could be said if you replaced "double barrelled names" with "English accents" >_>

Lol, my name must sound super-posh then, it's one of those "posh" first names, followed by a double-barrelled surname.

I knew a man whose surname was McGowan-Smyth...what a tit:rolleyes:. His translated name was 'Smyth Smyth'.

Captain Havoc

If anyone asks me what my middle name is I tell them Éamonn as Edward sounds like an arseholes name. I think John Paul is an OK name, obviously popular with catholics.

This thread seems to be more about slagging posh english names than names commonly found among wealthy irish people. Some more for the list;

theodore, gordon, basil, felicity

AARRRGH

Tbh I think the skanger names are a lot more interesting. Soooo many babies these days being named Britney, Lexus, Mercedes, Christina, etc.

Long Onion

Firstly, I think it's irresponsible to have a double-barrelled name. It is commonly reported that the Chinese are running out of names and here are the wealthy elite hogging two or three - I'm telling Jack O'Connor ...

Secondly, I have a massive issue with the Kerry footballer "Mike-Frank" Russell - Mike is short for Michael and Frank is short for Francis, why the fuck do you shorten your first name only to add another 'shortened' one to lengthen it again. Michael Francis is ok (pretentious and unnecessary, but allowable) Mike is ok, Frank is ok - "Mike Frank" is just retarded.
