I don't think any of them are too chavvy. There are a few in there that are too popular for my taste (Joe, Charlie, William, James, Oliver, Josh).

I think we are going for Ned as our boy's name - although Scottish people on here will tell you that it means chav in scotland.

they are all fine apart from these which I don't like so much:

Josiah
Rufus
Montgomery/Monty,

I particularly like Tobias and Joseph.
