I'm wondering about that, I would like to know! :)

To me, the snobbiest and old-fashioned English first names are (among others):

MALE NAMES:

Abraham
Alfred
Andrew
Bartholomew
Basil
Edmund
Edward
Elliott
Garrett
George
Gerald
Godfrey
Graham
Kendrick
Kenneth
Reginald
Reynard
Richard
Rudyard

FEMALE NAMES:

Beatrix / Beatrice
Catherine / Katherine
Constance
Elizabeth
Dorothy
Florence
Harriet
Jane
Margaret
Mary
Millicent
Prudence

And so on.

I'm wondering if some among you have anything to add to that list of snobby, old-fashioned names? ;)

Regards,

Lu
