    According to Tatler magazine these are the sorts of names so-called posh people are calling their kids. Personally I think someone is having an early April Fool's Day but can you imagine calling your sprog any of these?

    Blanche
    Czar-Czar
    Debonaire (almost as bad as Chardonnay!)
    Estonia

    Boy:
    Alfred
    Harold
    William
    Henry
    Stephen
    Richard
    John
    Edward
    James
    Charles
    Oliver
    George

    Girl:
    Matilda
    Jane
    Mary
    Elizabeth
    Anne
    Victoria

    She's a pro-Scots Indy feminist mega-posh journo type.

    Gotta be in her late 50s - I'd guess older, in fact.
