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.

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

2014newme · 12/10/2017 12:57

Chavvy. So no.

LadyRosalieBeauchamp · 12/10/2017 12:56

sorry don't like it

Cakebaby123 · 12/10/2017 12:56

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 Blush

Savannah Sapphire?Wink

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

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

pipilangstrumpf · 12/10/2017 12:14

I don’t like it

Mulch · 12/10/2017 11:53

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

Loyly · 12/10/2017 11:50

I don't like it, sorry.

PandaCat · 12/10/2017 11:45

I actually like it

bridgetreilly · 12/10/2017 10:40

Tacky, tacky, tacky.

The Chardonnay of its day.

Hufflepuff719 · 12/10/2017 10:34

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.

Branleuse · 12/10/2017 10:28

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

Pigofwar · 12/10/2017 10:28

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