On second thoughts, what we should be doing is checking in Burke's Peerage to see what names are actually being given by such persons. I've got a problem, though - and as I say I'm foreign so what do I know? - isn't there a difference between people who name their children Hugo and Henrietta because they've been doing so since 1066, and people who do it as an attempt at social camouflage or social climbing? Surely only the second group are snobbish?
