Opinions on Savannah

[gracefu]

Be honest

[Pigofwar]

I quite like it although it does remind me of woodland/grassy plains..

[Branleuse]

Ive always thought it was a pretty name. Sounds quite american though.

[Hufflepuff719]

I don't like it.

It's in the same category of names such as Saffron, Crystal, Sienna and I don't like these names.

I agree it sounds quite American.

[bridgetreilly]

Tacky, tacky, tacky.

The Chardonnay of its day.

[PandaCat]

I actually like it

[Loyly]

I don't like it, sorry.

[Mulch]

I like it, there's enough olivias, something sickly and hyphenated. Dry boring English names we don't need another Elizabeth

[pipilangstrumpf]

I don’t like it

[Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar]

Dreadful. I once heard it screeched across a shopping centre in a Liverpudlian accent, it was toe curling.

[LivingInLaLaLand]

We know a Savannah-Rey. Even amongst our set who favour more unusual names, it's considered poncy & try to hard - sorry

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Savannah Sapphire?

[Cakebaby123]

Sorry I think it's chavvy. Just because there's a Savannah (Savs as her oh so pleasant mother affectionately calls her) at my DCs school who I think has a future on the jeremey kyle show

[LadyRosalieBeauchamp]

sorry don't like it

[2014newme]

Chavvy. So no.

[Dontrocktheboat]

Not keen but it is the name of one of the queen's great granddaughters - so may offset the 'chavvy' accusations a bit.

[TheLongRains]

My daughter gets called Savannah by a lot of people. It's not her name...but it has grown on me, having heard it so much! I don't think of it as tacky. The Savannah's I know are mostly very lovely, very beautiful, rather posh (not in a negative way!), but only 1 of the three I know its British, so it may be seen differently in the UK.

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

What does your dd get called it if it's not her name?

[Sophronia]

Not keen, agree it fits with Sienna, Saffron, Scarlett, Sapphire, Serenity etc.

[TheLongRains]

Dame her name is not common in the UK (fewer than 10 born in the UK in her year), so I tend not to mention it online as it somewhat narrows us down (!), but it's an African name that is a little bit similar to Savannah... People can't seem to grasp that it's not Savannah though!

[ChocolateCrunch]

I know one, aged 9, who doesn't fit the chavvy image at all.

[HeteronormativeHaybales]

Awful.

[AppleKatie]

I like it but think it's a name that has either Jeremy Kyle or upper class connotations and not a lot in between. So I wouldn't use it, but it sounds lovely to my ear.

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

TheLongRains that makes sense, how annoying!

[mrsRosaPimento]

Love it. Really pretty name.

[IWouldLikeToKnow]

I think it’s very pretty - IMHO definitely not in the same category as Crystal!
