X Æ A-12 Musk?
Never say never.
- henrikschroder 5y agoBeing rich doesn't make you upper class, evidently.
- thruway516 5y agoIf your first name is really henrik, that would be pretty unique in the English speaking world. I think what you say might be true for your country but not really in others. Many upperclass people have unique names in the United States (and also in Britain I think ). In fact it used to be quite fashionable with some upperclass people to have a vaguely foreign sounding name especially one hinting at some kind of European connection.
- halitox40 5y agoMaybe not in Europe (and that is arguable depending on the country). In the US it absolutely does.
- henrikschroder 5y agoNo. Here's a good resource if you want to read up on how class works in the US: https://siderea.livejournal.com/1260265.html https://siderea.livejournal.com/1260265.html
- swexbe 5y agoA name like that screams new money / no roots to me. There is a big difference between uncommon names but with deep roots like the above mentioned Sixtus and completely unique names X Æ A-12. The former is very common in the upper classes, the latter not so much.
