Help[Opinions] Re: Real-life Lancelot
in reply to a message by .
Lancelot doesn't sound posh. Dorky perhaps or endearingly cheesy but not upper crust. Lance sounds like a stripper.
Names that I associate with inherited wealth is very contextualized and varies a lot by location in the USA. I would expect the descents of the Boston Brahmins to have preppy or traditional Anglo first names that reference ancestors or the mother's maiden name. In most contexts, Brinley and Bradlee just sound like boring trendy names, but if honoring a family member in the Boston or Newport areas, then it is more of a flex. I think some wealthy families gravitate toward subtle "if you know, you know" nods.
