    Ha! I love the word 'poncy'! It's so english!

    I'm still into Darcy....dont' think it's 'poncy' at all.....In my family it's quite 'broody'.....

    As in Colin Firth as Mr Darcy....

    Yeah mmm Mr Darcy...

    But would you want to name your son after someone you want to go back in time to shag? Kinda steals the Mr Darcy magic

    Rupert is nice Although could easily be considered poncy in some circles lol

    I wouldn't worry about it. My parents held off calling me a name because it was the same as a TV character. Now, if I use it, nobody's heard of her. Politicians are very often the same. He's not heading for Prime Ministerial duties, and even if he is, whatever. Kevins don't get teased for having the same name as the PM, and, to be honest, the name Whitlam is on our list because of a politician.

    I would LOVE for you to use the name Barnaby. Particularly Barnaby Roy as a combination. Because, with our surname, his initials would be BRA. So it is not currently on the list
