Do you like this name? My BF can't decide if she likes it or not. She has a DD called Nicole and a DS called Jake.

Well if you didn't 'judge' people on what parents called their children then why spend so much time on a site discussing what to call your children and how others perceive the names???

Have no feeling re Paige (sounds a bit American-not that that's bad), but dh teaches a girl with that name and her surname is Turner (am hoping the average 15 yrold doesn't read mumsnet)

thisisyesterday · 27/10/2009 23:38

if i was looking through CV's i wouldn't be paying tht much attention to the name, i would be looking for the person most suited to the job.
beacuse i don't judge people on what their parents decided to call them.

CinderellaRach · 27/10/2009 23:37

Well done wrongun pat on the back

Poohbearsmom · 27/10/2009 23:36

I love the name straight away it reminded me of a beautiful singer i rem from yrs ago... but im not British so hav no prejudices and am not even quite sure what a chevv is... but still love the name

FluffyPumpkins · 27/10/2009 23:36

I think that whoever is looking at the cv is usually looking at grades/experience ect.
rather than your name.

sorry you dont get the job as you are called paige.????

wrongun · 27/10/2009 23:34

Love the 'classy' variety of vocab

trailer trash
chav
chavvy
lairy

no chip then

CinderellaRach · 27/10/2009 23:33

If you see Paige at the top of a CV WHAT would you think???Please don't be nasty/bitchy/defensive!!!!It's a hideous name and instead of respecting my opinion you're being highly strung and immature.If my opinion bothers you so much don't bother commenting on my messages.Sweet dreams xxxx

oh, no chip. just dislike hypocritical narrow-minded posters who come on calling innocent little girls "trailer trash" and implying that they'll never amount to anything just because of their name

Tidey · 27/10/2009 23:25

I really don't go for names that sound deliberately outlandish, spelled weirdly or the really old-fashioned Edna/Mavis/Gladys ones that seem to be making a comeback. I still wouldn't label other people's choices as chavvy, I'd just say I'm not fond of them.

Is this sudden snarling all because so many people said Belle Kitten was daft?

CinderellaRach · 27/10/2009 23:24

'Thisisyesterday' has a serious chip on her shoulder.Not going to retaliate not worth it..

MrsMorgan · 27/10/2009 23:23

Oh snap Lockets. Dd1 is Lauren and someone once said that was chavvy.

MrsMorgan · 27/10/2009 23:22

I don't really care if you disagree with me Cinderella.

A name is just that, a name, it doesn't make someone behave in a certain way. How they are raised will make them behave one way or another, but not their name.

But wouldn't it be boring living in a world where everyone was called Mary and John?

CinderellaRach · 27/10/2009 23:19

Thanks for the amazing input 'thisisyesterday' ;0)

wrongun · 27/10/2009 23:19

Nope. It is a new fangled US name to a fuddy duddy like me.

There are a few folk bandying chav around tonight, that's class for you

thisisyesterday · 27/10/2009 23:19

mayhbe she should go for Belle Kitten?
