This is for a family where the parents are both English, with fairly "blue" blood. I'm trying to avoid "occupational" surnames. Some Scottish names would be okay (Armstrong, Colquhoun), but I'm staying away from Irish and Welsh names. Double-barreling is possible, but posh double-barreling, not "equality" double-barreling. Also looking for the wife's maiden name. (Last name choice will also help me choose first names.)

Some ideas I'm tossing around:

---

Bowden-Crane
Fanshawe
Armstrong-Ellis
Harrington
Ingram
Audley
Courtenay
Durand
Haight
Fenwick (would this be pronounced FEN-ick, dropped "W" sound, in England?)

---

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
