mine
7/10
Hmm
Mine 2/10
I dunno
The Jewishness distorts any other judgements.
Yours is pretty posh, yes.
Are we counting middle names? If so I'd be James David Sibley, which sounds pretty posh... 8/10
Makes u sound like a creepy tory
I no longer trust u or ur opinion
What was that?
I can't hear you from my ivory tower behind this massive moat!
1/10
It's probably the most common name.. ever
only spelled a bit differently
Cow is always spelled like that, sorry.
Christian name, Surname, wut?
4/10
Pretty working class.
I keep thinking yours is Gamble
Mine sounds quite common
:(
meh 5/10
10/10 for comedy adaptability!
dunno
Muslimness/Asianess makes it difficult to judge
2/10
nothing special
Kate Unicorn B?
I'd say that's pretty special!
Oh god I forgot I put it as that
I wish it was that special it's actually Kathryn.
If I had my mother's surname
I'd be a Mehta which means chief so it would rank me as posh in India but probably not ever here.
actually
1/10 for last name, because it's WELL common
10/10 for weirdness as I've never actually met anyone with my first name and probably never will
5/10
probably rising to 6.5/10 given how I shorten it.
Does anything scottish = instant 1/10?
i'll run with 8/10
but that may be pushing it
Charles Oliver Ralph
10000000/10
well, over here mine is more foreign than anything else
back in the old country though i'd give it about 7/10
*more than
common, as, fuck.
i hate my name :(
Tom, is my name posh sounding?
Or is it automatically disqualified for being foreign?
Anyway, my name is really uncommon in Ukraine, as far as I can tell. I don't know if that's any indicator. I'd rather it weren't posh sounding, though, I guess, if I could choose. I'm not posh.
Not really posh at all
Maybe slightly posher
if you say 'bastards' as 'barstards' in a posh voice.
5/10
Foreign names are posh. Right?
Oh Stephen, you're not posh at all
Not posh
just odd
9/10
thanks

Demons are always posh.
Haven't you watched any US fantasy films?
no but i have watched all of Angel this year, does that count?
That'll do.
Check the poshness on THOSE demons.
they were pretty posh
but i'm not an amerrrcan demon
username or real life name?
well to be honest theyre pretty similar so i dunno.maybe 4/10.is holmes a posh name?
dunno/10
Is your surname Shucksy?
Turk Turkleton
I wish.
this thread is surely pointless unless people actually divulge their names!
mines christopher stephen carrington. probably a 6/10!
oh wait. are we talking first name or surname?
THE WHOLE SHEBANG
oh in that case.
i love my surname. it somewhat salvages my prenom.
affy margaret bain

10/10
8/10
It's the name of a monarch but it's not in the super-posh names league where you find Marina, Athene (sorry dear, it's not personal), Diana, Dido, Virginia and some other high-falutin' names.
:]
My full name is more exotic than posh
*eRotic
dunno
3/10
Mine
4/10
9/10
Maybe 9.5/10
The surname is too obvious to work
3/10
Maybe you can marry a man called 'Thanyew' and hyphenate?
Come on! That was fucking great!!
That's not even a real surname
christopher stephen carrington
^
son of Krystle
whos that?
sounds new age-y
Matthew Reza Modarres
2/10
full names?
because my full name is pretty posh and Catholic in it's length.
My two middle names are
Charles Herbert :(
I'm not even remotely posh, though I had some brief Victorian style tutelage in the middle east, but that was about manners or something.
3/10
Not really posh at all. I don't really know how to measure it though.
2/10
common as muck
if it's full names...
Anthony James Patrick Francis O'Hara Kelly is pretty fucking posh.
10/10 in a rating system.
thats not a posh name so much as a lot of names
its greedy
Oirish descendant?
Oohhhh
Tonyjameypaddyfrannyharry O'Kelly, how are ye today, got any potaters?
naaaah
Kelly is not a posh name at all, neither is O'Hara.
Full points for length though.
My full name is similarly long.
Oh, Irishers.
hmmmm
Richard Mathew Patrick Browne
3/10?
i have never quite forgiven my mother..
for giving me the prenom of bianca-jade.
you can imagine the abuse i suffered in school for the abbreviation.
5.5/10
jasminekathleentrevenenpearson
Minus points for Pearson, plus points for two long middle names.
My brothers have amazing names:
Lawrence Alfred Hathorn Pearson
Alexander Lesley Cecil Pearson
ohai!
I didn't realise you were you :O
probably 8/10
due to it sounding french and the double capital letters: LaRoche
First Name (Frank) 1/10
Surname(Hannell) 9/10
shona mccombes
dunno... minus points for no middle name? my last name is pretty rare but i don't think that makes it posh.
10/10 for scottishness though. apparently shona is gaelic for jane. fascinating.
do you always spell it shona?
or do you use ever use the gaelic version? It's my mum's name so I am biased but it's a cool name especially in gaelic version.
nah, i always use shona
how does your mum spell it? there seem to be a few different versions.
shona is also an african language, apparently.
she mainly does use Shona
as she lives in England now and people get confused, but her birth certificate says Seonaid.
When I lived in America I knew a black African girl called Shona which seemed really weird to me until she told me about the people with that name.
oh, really?
i always thought seonaid was pronounced differently. i've also seen it spelt shiona and seonaigh, but i'm just shona on my birth certificate.
Barry = unposh 3/10
Barrington = posh 9.5/10
Benjamin Quarless
6.5/10 maybe?
Maximillian Mortimer Tatton-Brown 10/10
Where's Snow_Brigade
His name is immense. He has like 4 middle names!
Jake/Jacob Salmon
3/10 Jake
4/10 Jacob
oh, middle name andrew
doesn't really change anything
PRINCE Andrew
i would say about 3/4 out of 10
Jack- 5/10
Pitt- 3/10
yay! someone else has no middle name(s)
My name's boring. Not even the one on my birth certificate. I might just make one up.
sorry dude
but Jack's pretty common
yeah i know
so you mean im less posh?
yeah
dunno if this is good or bad mind - are you an indie?
5/10
Probably. I can make it "posher" depending if I use the name I was christened with.
Well, actually I wasn't christened but you get my point.
9/10
101
Broke the round figure.
well...my name is about 6/10.
But if we're taking middle names into account, I'd be 9/10
P.s
My name is Reginald Conrad Jones Tibbins.
is
Benjamin Andrew Kensington III posh?
