No, I think we're thinking of two different Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemaches. This one has a lad called Kyle - used to play for Wolves Under-13s but dropped out after getting in with a bad crowd. Bit of a coincidence though, eh?

Well, you'll get some confusion like this when every Tom, Dick, and Harry down that way is called Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemaches.

Lady Sovereign

And her less posh and all-round rougher Sister; Lady Amber Leaf.

My old geography teacher had a pretty posh name, and was a real life marquess:

I only had eyes for Lady Cutters Choice.

DArtagnan

Probably won't make the cut, but my one time Polish girlfriend, Jadwiga Danuta Królowska
always sounded a cut glass name to me, particularly as królowa translates to queen.
Bardzo królewski, (very regal).

I just went and asked the rest of the internet and they seem to favour Poshy McPoshname.

Radio Four listeners will be familiar with Damian Grammaticas and Jonty Bloom.

I used to work with two ladies called Anthea Canadine-Bate and Georgina Hawtrey-Woore (who sadly passed away last year, as I discovered when looking her up).

Regal Kingsize.

I was a bit slow there, it took me at least 5 seconds to remember that Regal Kingsize are, or were, cigarettes, my Jadwiga, at her largest was a U.K. size 10.

Damian Grammaticas always sounds like a kids' song to me.

"Oh, Damian Grammaticas is always coming after us..."

That sounds deeply familiar but i can't put my finger on what the actual kids' song is.

Can't be bothered to go back and look. Has anyone mentioned Cornelius Lysaght yet?

Ptolemy Dean, who used to be on an architecture programme with Griff Rhys-Jones. Just googled him to check he wasn't a figment of my imagination and saw that his sisters are called Tacita and Antigone.

And I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned Jermajesty Jackson?



Uncle TechTip

Simon Sebag-Montefore. I mean, Sebag. Are you fucking pulling my leg. And Montefore. That's just a fucking given. But Simon????

Worzel Gummidge.

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson had a nice posh ring to it by all accounts.

Tara is very common. The queen would say good bye, or good day, or something like that.

What?  Don't know about that.

Regal Kingsize was my one of my best mates at high school.  It was me, Reg Kingsize and Johnny Walker.
