Finding it really hard to pick a boys name, I've got a little boy called Louie and thinking of Jayden for this one could be shortend to J or middle name will be Joseph as that's my dads name so Jayden Joseph could also be JJ. Honest opinions please :)

This is getting so confusing. Who said chav isn't insulting?

Alisvolatpropiis · 02/06/2014 21:28

I've had conversations about names and class connotations. Probably ironic given I'm Welsh.

Names are interesting. They're often the first thing people know of you, some carry more weight than others be it positive or negative.

That is mostly why I like the baby name board. Though I do think it should be renamed, because it isn't just a baby you're naming. It's a future adult.

I think names like Peregine,Lettice and Hebe are far worse than Jayden though. Jayden isn't really my style of name but it's significantly better than the former three.

Who claims it isn't an insult?

ElleBellyBeeblebrox · 02/06/2014 21:25

I'd love someone to define the word chav, if they reckon it's not an insult.

deadwitchproject · 02/06/2014 21:23

can't believe the OP is now going for Jake. OP I wish you had come on a lot sooner and made that clear...

Ok, those google images portray what I thought was meant by chav.

My DS is Jayden. Never had anyone ever say it's awful. TBH when I chose the name I didn't know of anyone called Jayden apart from Jaden smith! I love it his it shortens to Jay , perfect for when he is older.

WandaDoff · 02/06/2014 21:19

Or Jesse

WandaDoff · 02/06/2014 21:18

I wouldn't use Jake if you'll be spending time in Scotland.

FidelineandFumblin · 02/06/2014 21:14

That is a fantastic book usual

Seems about right Cote.

CoteDAzur · 02/06/2014 20:50

OK, I have Googled 'chav' images and this comes up.

You always get the same comments on these threads.

'People shouldn't judge names so call your baby what you like!'

No. You are quite right. They shouldn't. But they do. It happens. Everyday. Why would you want to set your child up to be judged every time their name is on a piece of paper?

Sophie is sweet. Isobel is a hard worker. James is intelligent.

No amount of 'well I know a Jayden who is at oxford!' Changes the fact that people will see the name Jayden and most likely think; naughty kid, sit him at the front next to the teacher.

It doesn't mean "beneath me" on MN or anywhere else.

Spero · 02/06/2014 20:38

I like Jake. Its a good no nonsense name and I think it will grow well with him.

Absolutlsy Hilarious how many comments are on here, I've not read them all but Jayden has caused quite a stir lol.

We're not going with Jayden leaning more towards Jake ??

"As said before chav is used to mean 'beneath me'."

I doubt it.

Let's make a sentence:

I am standing at the edge of the abyss with about 500 m of emptiness chav beneath me.
