Re: Poshest of Posh Names
I couldn't care less about Bendydict Cumberbritches (and I hate the idea of him mauling Hamlet. Then again, if you're gonna ham it up and be a twatish diva, well, it's almost fitting. The Danish prince was a little precious) but I love OTT names.I actually like Electra. Never would use it, but it's kinda cool. Dorothy is blargh, though, Dorothea is so much more (hipster) chic, and Wulfstan is genuinely horrid. I kind of dig Cleopatra but not as an actuall person name.From the BtN post:
Allegra Cosima Ortigia Saffron... ahah! Allegra Cosima is very pretty in a pretentious way.
Heh! Calypso and Kit! Wouldn't work amongst us plebs.
Atticus Oliver Ernest, brother of Leticia, Beatrice, and Agatha - ahahah! I like Beatrice and Agatha, though.
I like Beatrix (not the icky middle names) and Xanthe.
Beau as a girls' name makes no sense whatsoever.
I like Casper with Cosmo! What's wrong with me?!
Eh, long story short, the names are hilarious and sometimes kinda cool.Can't think of a posh name I've seen in the wild off the top of my head, even though I live in quite a posh area.
