Posting on Mumsnet, the woman asked: "Hit me with your upper class/well to do baby girl names that are still used today!" – and she's rubbed a few people up the wrong way.
One mum asked: "Why does this matter to you? If you were upper class you would call your child what you like and not give a hoot."
While others gave rude joke suggestions like "Chlamydia", "C***ella" and Candida – that's a yeast infection, to you and me.
Others suggested looking at The Telegraph's birth announcements, pages of Tatler and Vogue, or Wikipedia pages about well-known alumni from Eton and Downe House.
But others gave more serious suggestions. These are the most 'upper class' baby names, according to mums, do you agree?

Others felt it wasn't the name itself which was important, but rather the "hilarious nickname like Tory or Tocky or Bumble".
Another said: "So agree with the child mispronunciation nickname! It doesn’t matter what the official name is, you just use a nick name darling.
"Ducky, shrimpy, bumble, minty, button. You get the gist."
Of course, if you're really posh you would just call your tot after a wealthy ancestor – am I right Kate and Wills?
