Want to make your character sound wealthy? Just give them a snobby rich kid name. This is for those names like Chase (or [[MyNaymeIs Chace]]), [[GossipGirl Blair]], or in older programs [[TheLibby Libby]] (which is a name more strongly associated with commoners now). For extra pretentiousness points, add a Roman numeral at the end to indicate that the name itself is a legacy. "[[RuleOfThree The Third]]" seems to be the most popular.

* As explained in the trope description, this is a common occurrence in Hispanic ''telenovelas''. Usually it is the male protagonist who is well off, and this means we wind up with a male lead called Ricardo Facundo (always, ''always'' called by both names) while the female lead is called María, Juana, or other ridiculously common names. This tendency has been parodied many, many times, often giving the parody protagonist an [[OverlyLongName Overly Long]] PreppyName.

Note, a name associated with upper class characters in one generation will often sound "common" in the next as working class mothers decide to name their children after characters in books or movies, members of the royal family etc. For example, {{James Bond}} married a very classy young woman called Theresa, known a Tracy. And she wasn't the only classy Tracy in films of that either. Sharon was quite a "nice" name back then too. By the 80s? Not so much. By now, Sharon and Tracy will be working class mothers whose own children have names ''they'' considered classy when she chose them, only to discover that all the other Sharons and Tracies had chosen them for their urchins, too.

Royal names are another example of this latter phenomenon. In the late 19th Century there was a fashion for Victoria/Victor and Albert/Alberta in honour of the queen and her husband. By the time the first ''{{Steptoe and Son}}'' movie was made, 'Arold (Son) told Albert (Steptoe), with reference to the baby they had adopted, "''Naw'', we're no' callin' 'im Albert; 's ''common''!"
