Names for highly educated people

I think she just means more fancy names... I don't really get the fuss.

Had to laugh at your reply, Stef!

I think names like Olivier, Felix, Pepijn, Marnix, Roderick, Annefleur. A bit posh, you could say. Or maybe the trendy short names: Pip, Suus, Fien, Cas etc.

Haha, call your kid Rodrigues or something

Alicia, Amélie, Ariana, Charlotte, Elianne, Elise, Elizabeth, Elodie, Eloïse, Florine, Hannah, Helena, Isabel, Isabella, Isolde, Juliëtte, Lianne, Lilian, Madelief, Michelle, Nadine, Rosalie, Roxanne, Sophia, Valerie, Willemijn

Alexander, Bastiaan, Benjamin, Christian, Daniël, Elias, Florian, Floris, Jonathan, Julian, Julius, Lucius, Olivier, Pepijn, Quinten, Raphael, Samuel, Tobias, Valentijn, Wessel, Willem

When I look at the names of my daughter's friends and their partners, all of whom are highly educated, this is the list:
Jeroen, Cilena, Matthijs, Adela, Tjerk, Anna, Roxana, Ruben, Simone, Sander, Willem, Valerie, Alexander, Darina,
Names of their children:
Thomas and Sascha
Lotte and Mila
Fenne and Yara
Sophie and Eva
Dene, Hidde and Nine
Lars and Nina
Robin and Simon

Oh oh, poor little one isn't even out of the womb yet and already has to meet expectations! No pressure...

Haha, I can only laugh about this ... It's not because you give your child a certain name that they will be highly educated ... But every little bit helps, right? ...

I don't think it's about the child's educational level, but about the association of the name with the environment the parents come from, Fifi.

Then I still find it ridiculous ... Like you're only allowed to give your child such names if you're highly educated...
Just pick a name you like.

Wow, what intense reactions...
I don't see this question as a moral compass for the future, but rather as a call to curiosity about which names are often given by highly educated, affluent people who also pass them on.

I myself am not particularly highly educated, but I have a high IQ. I played hockey and am someone who stopped her high education to become a top athlete in another elite sport, namely horse riding: my sisters have names that belong to the highly educated group but actually have a father who was a market trader, and my father is the highly educated Frisian with a simple Frisian name. My mother has a name that is for the highly educated, but she worked for NATO and her parents are not highly educated.

I don't know if my own name is in the list for elite names or what social message my name actually conveys. It's American, named after family with Native roots.

I think you're looking for names that are elite.
My dog is named Spencer. I searched for; hockey names, elite names etc. Often these are double in the Netherlands, French and American names (especially New York high society) Ivy League, upper class and high society often give results and my dog's name I found among preppy names on Google. Bay Area is also such a place, by the way.

That's how you see in the top jobs that people generally have a fancy name. The elite, for example, are called Joris, Boudewijn, or even have a double first name. They're even selected for it.
Someone with the prefix "Van der or Van den" is very common in the higher regions.
Hairdressers are mainly called Britney, Stefanie, and so on..

But you're still judged in this world first and foremost by the background your parents come from. And most people do that, consciously or unconsciously.

My parents are highly educated, but I'm not. I was bullied, and my daughter plays with everyone. So that doesn't add up, does it?

As if I'm less worthy because I have less education…

And because I have a lower level of education, I shouldn't give my child those names?
