Quirky aristocrat/Times birth announcement style names - Take Two

[emyandpotato]

So this was a thread about a year ago but wanted to start it again as there were some great name suggestions and I need ideas!

What are some of your favourite very posh but quirky(ish) names? Or just very posh and lovely. Stuff you might find on The Times Birth Announcements page.

Wilbur
Willoughby
Marmaduke (Duke is a cool nn imo!)

Angus
Fenwick
Cosmo (this was going to be my name if I was a boy )
Balthazar

I love that these are family names! Makes my family look so dull! I really love like 90% of these names, I think I have issues

 

[Eleanor ace]

some of them hate their names, some relish them! It is really hard to come up with a name my family thinks is too out there- I'll be like "how about Arlo Fox Tiberius?" and my great aunt will be like "ahh that's nice, it's good to go with a safe name"

 

[emyandpotato]

PLEASE use Arlo Fox Tiberius, it's an amazing name! I dread telling family our names, OH's family thought Rory was a strange name so goodness knows what they'll make of our choices this time!

I love Angus, Florence and Beatrix.

I'm calling my DD Cordelia which I think is a bit quirky.
