Figgy, Gethsemane, Quail and Ra: Tatler names its top posh baby names for 2017
Celebrities have long been surprising us with unusual baby names, from Brooklyn and Apple to North and Ace.
But Tatler’s annual list of top 'posh' baby names has taken the quest to dizzy new heights, advising its readers on some of the more unusual titles that will make your little one seamlessly fit into high society later in life.
If you want a name that stands out on the school register, it suggests naming your son Euripides, Innsbruck or Npeter (the ‘N’ is silent FYI).
Top posh names for girls include Figgy, Gethsemane, Queenie and Debonaire.
The magazine insists that they’re “some of poshest names known to man. These are the real deal. Some are even centuries old. Let's make them popular again!”
Luckily there are some more commonplace names on the list, such as David, Una, John and Kenneth.
However, it might be a while before the likes of Tansy, Vervain and Ra catch on across the country.
Last year the UK’s most popular baby names for girls included Amelia, Olivia and Isla while Oliver topped the list for boys.
