It's chavvy and more suited to caravan park.

WrapAndRoll · 04/01/2019 10:01

It's a band or a surname.

WrithingHomeForChristmas · 04/01/2019 09:43

Why does it always rain on me?

(It just makes me think of the band, or Travis Perkins.)

Carouselfish · 02/01/2019 23:44

Cowboy.

Don't dislike it.

Far from being ‘chavy’ Imo. I don’t mix Travis in with Jayden and Riley... having said that, I’m not the biggest fan. Does make me think of either Travis Bickle or Travis Barker.

Belindabauer · 02/01/2019 16:06

It reminds me of the band but I think it could grow on me.

Icklepup · 02/01/2019 14:11

Really dislike it

I know a little Travis and he's a lovely boy so my associations with the name are positive. We're in Scotland but I've never really thought about his name in connection to the band.

I know an American called Travis who’s very intelligent and cultured and quite good humoured about the white trash associations. I don’t know what his parents were thinking.

Jimdandy · 01/01/2019 11:34

Reminds me of Overboard (see my usernameGrin) and Home and Away but it’s fine

PinkFluffyFairy · 01/01/2019 11:29

Love it!

WatchingTheWheels85 · 01/01/2019 08:07

Really popular where I live.

Cookit · 01/01/2019 08:03

I associate it with Kevin, Keith and names like that. So, no...

Astronica · 01/01/2019 04:26

No, very 1970s for me - out and not ready to come back.

MarchInHappiness · 01/01/2019 00:59

Rebecca and Travis off Home and Away for me.

I actually do not mind it though!t

IdaBWells · 01/01/2019 00:56

No.

ZebraKid71 · 31/12/2018 22:43

American 90s name to me.

Moominfan · 31/12/2018 19:47

I love r

greendale17 · 31/12/2018 19:35

I think it's chavy.

^I agree

FartnissEverbeans · 31/12/2018 19:34

Mid 90s Scottish band fronted by Fran Healey for me. Wouldn't work North of the Border for that reason, I don't think.

I’m Scottish and I know a little Scottish Travis.

It’s a perfectly decent name but makes me think of an American teenager in a comedy from the 90s.

MarmiteTermite · 31/12/2018 18:17

Travis Perkins here too I’m afraid!

RavenWings · 31/12/2018 18:15

Love it.

Magpiefeather · 31/12/2018 15:34

I know a Travis, he is lovely

DramaAlpaca · 31/12/2018 15:33

It's not my style.

It does work well with the sibling names though.
