Estelle is certainly not an upper class name in the UK. It would be considered similar to the Chantals and Tracys of this world. The landlady of the Rovers Returns pub on Coronation Street is called Stella and I can't help but think of her every time I read the princess's name.
It would be like William and Kate deciding to call their firstborn Trevor or Kevin. It just would not happen.
Upper class parents in the UK tend to go for old fashioned names. For example, the most popular boys names for parents who announced their sons' birth in The Times last year were William and Harry.
Kevin is considered a bit trashy in UK, too? Wow, didn't know that (I knew it wasn't used by the upper class, though). I'm sure William and Kate will give their children lovely traditional names, BTW. I like the names the British upper class usually uses for their children A LOT!
Sorry for being a bit Off Topic.
