Is John-Robert 'chavvy'?

[GingeryChocolatey]

NN Johnny? It isn't, is it?

[Orangebird69]

Not chavvy as such, just awful.

[crumpet]

Would it become John-Bob? That would remind me of the Waltons.

John Robert without the hyphen is fine

[Anatidae]

John. Or Robert.
Not John-Robert

[ChocoChou]

Chavvy yes sorry

[AmeliaJack]

I do not like the term Chevy and wouldn't use it. I'm. It entirely sure if the point of the hyphen though? Would you actually call him John-Robert? Like Mary-Ann?

If so why not?

If not, drop the hyphen.

[ImperialBlether]

Horrible, sorry.

[BookHunter]

Jim Bob as on the Walton's...oldie here. Gnight john boy!!

[2ducks2ducklings]

Not chevvy, but reminds me too much of The Waltons, 'John Boy.

[Manumission]

It's a bit overkill really.

[GingeryChocolatey]

Great... I think I'll be changing my son's name this week! he is only 10 weeks, so it isn't the end of the world.

[NoraDora]

Why the dash? John Robert is a nice name.

[ImperialBlether]

Johnny is nice. Robert is nice. John is nice. It's the hyphen that's the problem, OP, sorry.

[Manumission]

Oh dear. You already named a real live baby this? Maybe just remove the hyphen?

[heymammy]

Johnny is a fabulous name but John-Robert in a oner like that is really not to my taste.

BUT...if you love it then don't change it for everyone else. Whatever name you pick there will be people who love it and people who hate it.

[TheWrathFromHighAtopTheThing]

It just doesn't flow. I know a Robert-John, which works better, but it's still two pretty dull names lumped together and hyphenated.

[GingeryChocolatey]

He already has a middle name, that I'd like to stick, so we would remove Robert all together. I often actually call him John-Robert, but normally Johnny. He's only 10 weeks. We will probably end up removing Robert now though!

[phoebemac]

I like it! Reminds me of one of my favourite books. Maybe not hyphenated though?

[PhilODox]

So sorry, but John-Thomas is the first thing that came to mind.

[NoraDora]

Why not give 2 middle names?

John Robert blah surname

[Newtssuitcase]

It sounds very American Redneck to me I'm afraid. Not good. There is no reason you can have John Robert [next middle name] [surname] though. That's a perfectly good name with no negative connotations

[Yika]

Nothing wrong with it at all! I wouldn't change it. Two timeless, strong,classic names made slightly more unusual by combining them.

[crumpet]

My children each have 2 Middle names.

[Manumission]

There's nothing wrong with two middle names.

[squoosh]

Johnny is great. Just make John his official first name and give him two middle names. Easy peasy.

Wasn't JR Ewing from Dallas a John Robert? It makes me want to put on a Texan accent when I say it.

[UnicornButtplug]

I vote for two middle names.
