HelpRe: What names do you consider high class?
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
I wouldn't categorize "high class" and "snooty" as the same. I was prepared to tell you I think classic names are the classiest, but if you want snooty, I'd go more with long surname names. Like... Kensington. K, that's all I can come up with now.

I agree, snooty and high class are definitely not the same thing. Snooty is a state of being.

I second this.
Classy usually equates to traditional and old-fashioned, but not everyday common, for me.
Snooty is what I call "country club" names... like Penn, Preston, Blaise, or Brently for boys and Sloane, Blair, Whitney, or Priscilla for girls. Plus, there is your whole range of pretentious (but still quirky cool) nicknames like Bitsy, Van, Tripp or Tug.
I actually, and not too secretly, like the subtly snooty names. And, I far prefer the ridiculous nicknames that upper class folk use. I mean "Kitty"? Yes.
