I know a Blake and his parents are the least Chavvy people I know. Really lovely people who own their own business and have a gorgeous, very stylish un-chavvy house

To be totally honest, yes. Especially on a girl.

Gruzinkerbell1 · 04/10/2019 14:20

I know a lovely little Blake. The only Blake I know actually. I’ve never once considered his name to be chavvy.

The only Blake I know is definitely not a chav. I think it’s a great name. Maybe chavs have great taste

Yes for either a boy or a girl unless it’s a family name.

BigusBumus · 04/10/2019 14:02

Yes.

sanityisamyth · 04/10/2019 13:59

Yes.

Sadly, yes. I've known one all my life, but they've never escaped it. Despite being probably the least chavvy person I know!

I hate that names are 'judged' in that way and for the most part I'd ignore it, but some names (like Blake) just seem too tarred.

Yes
