HelpIt's all in the surname (m)
in reply to a message by Alisha
I don't actually think any of those names are pretentious on their own, but they lend themselves very well to becoming pretentious with certain surnames.
In addition, Imogen is Shakespearean, which could strike some people as a bit pretentious, Victoria is associated with royalty, Aurora is associated with mythology and fairy tales, and Bryony goes very well with long, pretentious surnames.
Also, I'm American :P
I actually love all of those names because they strike me as nicely old-fashioned and possibly a bit pretentious. Every single one of the names in that list was pulled from my PNL, after all.
