So on my last threads some people said that some of the names sounded middle class and should only be used if that was the case. So what are working class names? What are nice working class names? Is this actually even a thing? Does it really matter?

Just pretend you’re middle class instead OP, that’s what most of MN does

We are working class but I can't stand made up names, chavvy type names and stupid spellings. So what does a person like me do? I had names such as juliet and evangeline on my list but apparently I'm not posh enough?

Are you saying working class people can’t spell constantdishes? All the millions and millions of them (which includes you, I’ll bet my car on it)

I think names cross over nowadays. I would expect a name that has a made up spelling or spelt phonetically when that is not the traditional spelling to be working class...for example I know of a Summer spell Summah 🙄

Working class names are definitely not a thing in Yorkshire . And my 3 kids ‘ay up’, ‘sithee’ and ‘our kid’ agree with me!

There are no working class names. Genuine working class people aren’t always clamouring for am identify the way the wannabe middle classes do.

And the wannabe middle class are the working class so I guess whatever they call
Their children

It probably shouldn't matter but I suppose it does make people think of someone in a certain way.
