Chesty la Bum?

I haven't said anything is chavvy. Just that others had.

You can talk saying that Sienna is trashy.

squoosh · 25/11/2014 13:03

Or maybe Babs De La Boob.

squoosh · 25/11/2014 13:02

If I was a stripper I'd be Jiggles Magee.

burgatroyd · 25/11/2014 13:01

Sienna is a lovely sounding word.

If I was a stripper I'd like to be called Hortensia

squoosh · 25/11/2014 13:01

I always think of Savannah as being a stripper name. I've never been to strip club so not sure why I think this.

But it does amuse me that the Queen has a grandchild with this name.

Mumraathenoisylion · 25/11/2014 12:57

No no, I simply said there are many strippers who name themselves Sienna.

I think the word chav is offensive, so is putting people on a pedestal because you think being 'posh' is desirable, whatever posh is.

MiddletonPink · 25/11/2014 12:36

Because people were alluding to Sienna being chavvy and now named after a stripper.

Mumraathenoisylion · 25/11/2014 12:24

She named her son Sienna?

What does being posh have to do with it?

I also do not care what she thinks Grin just simply stating some facts and a little bit of opinion.

MiddletonPink · 25/11/2014 12:17

I must tell my very posh friend her DS is named after a stripper.
Like she'd care.

Mumraathenoisylion · 25/11/2014 12:14

The child is not born yet?

As another poster wrote up thread it is a well known name in the adult entertainment arena - a lot of strippers use it.

MyOwnJungle · 25/11/2014 10:40

Rachel

squoosh · 25/11/2014 10:38

The child is called Rachel Sienna, the time for opinions has passed.

No idea how Sienna be deemed trashy.

Mumraathenoisylion · 25/11/2014 10:30

Rachel is rubbish, Sienna is overused and a little trashy. sorry

squoosh · 24/11/2014 12:55

Rachel is lovely.

Emily is 'orrible.

Devora · 24/11/2014 12:17

Yes!!!! Rachel Sienna is the perfect balance of classic and trendy, gravitas and party girl. You won't regret it Smile

TheNewStatesman · 24/11/2014 11:28

Yes. Well done op. All the best people call their babies Rachel Smile Thanks

MrsMarigold · 24/11/2014 09:24

all lovely names

PunkAssMoFo · 24/11/2014 09:19

There are way too many kids called Emily & Matilda around these days. I also find Emily very insipid as pp said. I would normally dislike sienna, as I thinks it's way too try hard. However, as a mn for Rachel, I think youve found a perfect name.

Rachel sienna is lovely. Well done op.

rallytog1 · 24/11/2014 08:01

Rachel was 200+ in the last baby name stats I think.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 23/11/2014 23:45

Rachel. It's more prettier and there's too many Emilys
