The story is that 'posh' stands for 'port out, starboard home', which describes the most desirable accommodation on a steamship going from England to India and back. True? Perhaps not, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. But dahling, why worry? Simply browse these fabulously posh names for your baby!

A posh name deserves to be celebrated, right? Why not treat your little one to this amazing, personalised toy box? You can have any name on it, written in chic silver-coloured lettering. See more details here at Amazon.
