Preppy/rich kid names?

General Name Discussion
1

Hello guys! I have a question: what names/style of names do you think of when you hear preppy or rich kid names? This question has come up because I am currently in the middle of planning characters for a story with quite a few rich people/children.

I think of names like [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Josiah[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m], and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] for boys, and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], and [name_u]Sinclair[/name_u] for girls. What do you guys think?

[name_m]Rich[/name_m] People but not necessarily kids:
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Kathrine[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Carsten[/name_m]
[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]

[name_m]Rich[/name_m]/Yuppie kids:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_u]Bentley[/name_u]
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_u]Parker[/name_u]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bryony[/name_f]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]

mostly either super traditional or a little different but with a lot of history imo. Also surnames as firsts (ie, a guy named [name_u]Madison[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_u]Jameson[/name_u]). Good luck with your story:)

I think of sweet, slightly old-fashioned nicknames usually ending in -ee, “British” style. You could use some of those with a more traditional first, as pps suggest. Excuse repeats:

[name_f]Kitty[/name_f], [name_f]Kizzie[/name_f], [name_f]Kate[/name_f]: [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Catriona[/name_f]
[name_f]Milly[/name_f], [name_f]Milla[/name_f]: [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_m]Pip[/name_m], [name_f]Posy[/name_f]: [name_f]Pauline[/name_f], [name_f]Paulina[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Tilly[/name_f]: [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Ottoline[/name_f]
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]: [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], [name_f]Arianne[/name_f]

You get the idea! Here are some more suggestions that come to mind:
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lettice[/name_f] / [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]
[name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] / [name_f]Thomasin[/name_f] / [name_f]Thomasina[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] / [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]

The preppiest names are names followed by a suffix. [name_m]William[/name_m] IV seems preppier than simply [name_m]William[/name_m]. Traditional names are common as are surname names.
