I dunno. I see most classics as fairly "high class" but not snooty.

I don't see names a snooty because that's more of an attitude. It's like self-righteous, rude, materialistic. But if I must put a name to it, I'll with the following:
-Arabella, Charles, Arthur, Francine, Sarah, Jack, Peter, Maxwell/Maximilian.
High class names seem like they would be the elegant, sophisticated names.
Diana, William, Nicholas, Audrey, Catherine, James, etc.
I don't usually associate "class" with names because anyone can be named anything and still be completely different from what their name may indicate or be perceived as by society. Take Charles for example; most people think of it as a refined, charming name but all I think about is Charles Manson, the serial killer and the movie Chucky.
