Have read quite a few times on various threads of names being referred to as 'chavvy'. Just so I know, what names are considered chavvy and which ones are definitely not. Are there some names where people would disagree?

"Are there some names where people would disagree?"

What a ridiculous question!

Of course people would disagree. Namely those who are being told that their children have chavvy names.

anything that is 'made up'

of course all names were 'made up' at some point in time

Oh FFS Just choose a name you like without seeking mn approval
Chavvy is an offensive term

Names of English Kings and Queens are definitely not chavvy.

I think some definitely are but most are a matter of opinion. Names that become popular very quickly sometimes become known as common, and in turn chavvy. This isn't always true of course. I also think that our view of a name is influenced by people we know. I may like the name x as I know a very nice person with that name. If the only x you know is very unpleasant (or you hear it yelled out by a shellsuity type, or you teach a horrible one), you will have different associations with the name.

I read on here earlier about a woman who said both her DC's names were considered chavvy by MN. She didn't say what they were ( I guess because of being identified in RL), but I was curious, so have asked. Didn't really think it through before posting though, so if you feel this will just upset people, then please just ignore and my nosiness curiosity will have to go unsatisfied

NOOOO!!! Please no!

Could we avoid all the upset and insults now and just say: all names are 'chavvy' according to MN.
