WDYT of Courtney??

[princesshaley]

As I'm going through some lists (I tend to like more "dated" and typical, boring names for Britain it seems??) I keep coming across names that I'm not entirely sure on, so I'm very sorry in advance if I end up posting again about another name ! (I think this should be my last one for now though !)


What do you think of the name Courtney?? I don't really know any, so I don't have any associations with the name - is it a good choice or is it too dated ??

If it helps, some other names I like are Bethan, Megan, Millie, Martha, Maisie, Claire, Rosie, Georgina and Kelly.

Thank you!

Awful, sorry. And not to be rude yo anyone but chavvy.
To give opinions on your other names.
Bethan is nice and Beth is very classy.
I love Megan but can't use it.
I usually like sweet and twee names but I can't abide Millie or Maisie. Probably because I'm tripping over them
Martha is very harsh.
I'm a Claire well Clare. I can't stand my name, but I think it would sound retro vintage and refreshing in a class room full of Islas, Lili-Mais Ruby's ect.
I don't like Rosie. Rosa Rose are beautiful and classic.
I'm not thrilled about Georgina. Georgia's nice though.
Kelly see Claire.

It's a bit 90s. I prefer Bethan, Martha, Rosie and Georgina from your list.

[livinglooney8]

It's a but dated but i like it, also like Georgina from your list.

[teachergirl2011]

No its chavvy x

[midsomermurderess]

I don't mind it at all.

My sister is a Courtney, she's 28 now so the name was very uncommon when it was chosen for her. Got a few raised eyebrows at the time!
It's obviously a lot more popular now, but still reasonably unusual I guess. Wouldn't really know if it was classed as a chavvy name or not really, I've always really liked it. The only thing she doesn't like about it is when it gets shortened to "Court" which happened at school mostly.
I don't know any other Courtney's, nor do I hear of it much.

[Joinourclub]

Baaaaaaaad. Much worse than anything else on your list.

[ByeByeLilSebastian]

I really don't like it.

I do like Meghan, Rosie and Georgina from your list though.

[midsomermurderess]

Oh, do stop with 'chavvy', what an ignorant thing to say Just who do you think you are to say that about people?

[CanandWill]

^ what midsomer said^

If you don't like it just say so but please don't call a name 'chavvy, trashy or trailer trash'. It is incredibly rude to the OP and insulting to others who may have that as their name or a dc with that name.

[DurhamDurham]

I think it's a lovely name, equally suitable for girls and boys.

[Enidblyton1]

A few years back I would have said no to Courtney. But I actually quite like it now.
I have a horror of all the really common, twee names around at the moment. Courtney is so much cooler than being yet another Evie, Isla, Ava etc

[SittingDrinkingTea]

Courtney is a bit dated and '90s, and from your list Kelly is the same but '80s. The rest are nice though, I especially like Bethan.

[Chinlo]

It's a bit... Like... the name of somebody who displays brash and loutish behaviour, you know? Somebody who wears a lot of burberry print and drives a suped up vauxhall nova and drinks canned cider and wears big gold jewellery and hoop earrings and signet rings and baseball caps pointed to the sky, and stuff like that.

I can't think of a word to describe it, but that kind of person, you know?

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

I love Maisie.

[TheWeeBabySeamus1]

I like it, it's my nieces name, I've never considered it "chavvy".

If you love it, then use it.

[namechangedjustforthis]

My daughter is called Courtney, she hates her name, says no one would ever take her seriously with a name like that. You'd see a stripper with that name but not a lawyer :-O I however think that's daft just thought I'd let you know what she thinks of it now she's an adult (just)

[EllenDegenerate]

Chinlo you think Courtney sounds like a lower working class teenager who has been teleported here from the late 1990s?

That's very specific.

[Crunchymum]

Too American for me I'm afraid.

[busyrascal]

Makes me think of Eastenders.

[Chinlo]

Chinlo you think Courtney sounds like a lower working class teenager who has been teleported here from the late 1990s?

You mean they don't drive novas any more?

[eyebrowsonfleek]

Kourtney Kardashian (and Courtney Love) would put me off the name Courtney.

[EllenDegenerate]

I didn't even know that a nova was an actual car (was it?). I thought you were being creative with your description of a corsa/fiesta tbh.

[SorenaJ]

I'm not too fond of Courtney, but love Maisie, Martha and Claire. Maybe Camilla with nn Millie?
