I wish people would stop all this 'chavvy' buisiness! It's just plain nasty.

I've heard names on here that have been deemed 'chavvy' used by professional, middle class families and so called posh names used by people fro working (or non working ) class backgrounds.
Just use a name if it works for you.

Dylan is a great name.

Chavvy?

I personally simply dislike the name. Not because I think it's "chavvy".

No, I wouldn't call it 'chavvy' but hate that term anyway.

I'd probably say it is to be honest [dons flameproof suit and quickly disappears in a flash of smoke]

No, but it is common, as in there's a lot of them around.

It's only 'chavvy" to the sort of person who likes to look down on people.

Who cares what they think.

How are you pronouncing it? To a Welsh speaker it would be pronounced as "Dullan.
Dillon/Dillon is the anglicised version.

Also is for a girl or a boy? Technically it is a Welsh boy's name.

A wee bit for a boy. A massive bit for a girl. Even more so if it's spelled Dylanne.

The anglicised pronunciation (for a boy) Smile

I like Dylan for a boy.

No

But there if so many of them around here it's not cool anymore.

Every Dylan love ever met has been lovely.

I like Dylan, it's fine.

What I don't like is people referring to names as 'chavvy'. It's a horrible, offensive word.

It's often referred to on here as a "naughty boys name" but I think it's lovely. It makes me think of the poet Dylan Thomas.
