I don't know if this is actually a "posh" name, but I used to read a lot of Rosamunde Pilcher books and she had a character named Loveday and she was "posh" so now I always think of it as posh.

Loveday is a Cornish name. I live just outside of Cornwall and know a couple of (not particularly “posh”) people who have it as a middle name. I kind of like it as a mn. :)

Loveday is interesting. Rosamund is very posh to me too. I have never seen it spelled Rosamunde, except in her case, though.

Yeah, Rosamund seems pretty posh to me too, but I don't really have a great handle on the intricacies and unspoken vulgarities of British naming systems. In the US, I'd think a Rosamund would be more elite or else an old lady, possibly an old British lady :)
