Rich people names

Rich, Richie, Richard, Dick.

All stupid names if you ask me.

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.

Richy Rich comes to mind

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.

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

You can bet your arse anyone with one is a cunt

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

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

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.

Lance and Julian, they were the toughest names we had....

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.

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.

A huge number a children born in the year the pope visited Ireland were named John Paul. I'd consider it a working class name.

Aren't Cornelius and Breffni symbolic Cork and Cavan names, respectively? When this thread comes up in 10 years it'll be all about the skobes calling their sprogs Charlotte and Geoffrey.

Darragh Fiachra O'Cleirigh-MacAenghus

Doesn't it just reek of pretension!

Irish names, and lots of them, unless you're from Inis Boffin, sounds like you were born with a whole silver cutlery set in the gob.

Really? May have to start using my middle name more so, (it's dick) combined with my first name it's more innuendo than you can shake a stick at. (First names Mick).

A lot of 30 year olds are called John Paul. It's not fancy or posh in anyway, believe me.
