Rich/Preppy vs. Sounding vs. Names

I know this will sound bad, but my husband and I are looking for wealthy/preppy sounding names for our son. We don’t like anything that’s too trendy. We do like last names as first names, but we don’t have any last names in our family that will make good first names. Some names I like, but my husband doesn’t, are Harrison, Hudson, Sawyer. Please give me some suggestions! Thank You!

How do you pronounce Declan? Is it De-Clan like it’s spelt? Also, how would you pronounce Grayer? Is it like Grier or different?
posted by Poll Creator :: 15 years ago | report
Declan is pronounced just as it’s spelled DEC-lan. Grayer is GRAY-er.

Okay...I was wondering why "De-Clan" was so popular...that makes a lot more sense!!! I like Dec-Lin" a lot better!

Wade, Heath, Jude, Simon, Malcolm, Thatcher, Everett

Some of the names you’ve mentioned are preppy-like Carter, for example-but they’re trendy enough that I don’t think they would strike anyone as being "rich."

Look at it this way: If you could yell out the name at Walmart or the playground and have two or more kids answer-well, then, it probably isn’t a "rich," name-kwim?

If you’re really going for that vibe, I’d suggest looking for something a little more classic and/or unusual. In other words, something that would sound like an old, family name.
