Honestly UES/old money names are pretty normal, it’s the nn’s that are pretentious. They just pass on family names like Caroline or Charles and call them Clover and Kit. So you might try to come up with some classic names and interesting nn’s. NN’s dont have to be related, it could be Elizabeth nn Mitzy or anything you like! The key to coming up with old money/UES names is to be bold and use whatever name you like and in general mn’s are last names ex:Abra Prentice Anderson Wilkin (a Rockefeller)
Going to list some names from some of the historically richest families in NYC.
Rockefeller
Elizabeth (Bessie)
Margaret Rockefeller Strong Cuevas
Blanchette Ferry Hooker Rockefeller
Anne “Fifi” Potter Stillman
Hope Aldrich Rockefeller Spencer
Spelman Prentice
Alta Rockefeller Prentice
Laurance Spelman Rockefeller
Vanderbilt
Cornelia Stuyvesant Vanderbilt
William Amherst Vanderbilt Cecil
Phebe Jane Vanderbilt
Ethelinda Vanderbilt
Flora Payne Whitney
Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
Anderson Hays Cooper - his mom is Gloria Vanderbilt
Emily Thorn Vanderbilt
Florence Adele Twombly
Emeliea Grace Kissel
Astor family
Winthrop Astor Chanler
Lucy Aphra Nancy Astor
Sydney Ashley Chanler (male)
Laura Eugenia Astor
Charlotte Augusta Astor
Whitneys
Harry Payne Whitney
Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney

Hope this will inspire some name combos for you!

Top girl baby names in Manhattan (from About.com)
On the most recent list of New [name]York[/name]'s most popular baby names for girls, old-fashioned choices from Grandma’s time dominate. These melodious names ([name]Isabella[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Olivia[/name]) have knocked long-time modern favorites like [name]Ashley[/name] and [name]Nicole[/name] out of the top 10, though newer choices like [name]Madison[/name] continue to gain popularity.
This data on most popular baby names for girls in New [name]York[/name] in 2010 is based on Social Security card application data (also see Top Ten [name]Baby[/name] Names for Boys in New [name]York[/name]).
[name]Isabella[/name]
The regal [name]Isabella[/name] swept into the top spot. The name [name]Isabella[/name] comes from Italian for “consecrated to God.” The latest popularity surge is likely partially inspired by Twilight’s heroine [name]Bella[/name].

[name]Emma[/name]
The popularity of [name]Emma[/name] is on the rise again (after inspiring the names of classic heroines for [name]Austen[/name] and Flaubert). The name [name]Emma[/name] can be traced back to a [name]German[/name] root meaning “universal.”

[name]Madison[/name]
It used to be that [name]Madison[/name] was just a New [name]York[/name] City avenue (and a surname for prominent Americans including a U.S. president). In the 1984 movie Splash, [name]Daryl[/name] [name]Hannah[/name]'s mermaid character chooses the first name [name]Madison[/name] after seeing a street sign. Since then, the name has become extremely popular for both boys and girls.
