This depends heavily on when a story is set, if this story was set in the Victorian era, when upper class people had "upper class" names, the names may have implied class.

Sadly, as the story is set in the present day, they don't really imply anything. In fact, as names spread across the country the original locality of the name is meaningless too (my step mother's called McKenzie but she's in no way Scottish.)

It may help to know when and where your story is set. Still, I don't think you need to concern yourself too much with this, let the names come out of the story. Otherwise you're just blocking yourself from starting.

EDIT
This answer is based on names in the UK because the story appears to be set in present day Britain (and because I live here, so it's all I have to go on)
