Whgat would you say are the pop 10 current "chav" girls names?

[GenevieveHawkings]

I know people here generally don't like the term "chav" being used but this is not meant to cause offence and is for a bit of research for a friend who is writing a short fiction piece for a competition and is looking for names to base a couple of her characters on.

She's not really looking at the "Sharon" and "Tracy" type names but more the sort of names that are in vogue at the moment.

Any ideas gratefully received.

JJJ: perhaps we should look out for a thread along the lines of: "I thought I'd found the perfect name, but so many people have made strange comments I can't go through with it. DH's family are very traditional , but I love nature names. DD is over 3 weeks old, so have to get on with it - help!

See I LOVE double barrelled names. (ds surname is so couldn't do 1st as well!).

I like Charlotte-Louise (charley-lou)
Lily-Rose
Gracie-May etc etc

or for boys Joshua-James (jj)
Conner-Lee etc

There have been a few "I love nature names" recently haven't there.....

names that are just initials and not short for anything

EJ
AJ
JJ
KC

quite a few unisex names

bailey
riley
taylor
tyler

american names

madison
summer

names altered from a c spelling to a k spelling

anything misspelled

sa·van·na also sa·van·nah (s-vn)
n.
A flat grassland of tropical or subtropical regions.

- at least that's what I was taught in Geography at school

Don't know which are top but saw the name Tayla-Mae the other day- urgh!

Charley-Lou??

GenevieveHawkings you could also get your friend to check out the "Baby of the Year" comp in her local paper. There are usually a few corkers in those, or is that just where I live....

this reminds me, in my trashy mag the other day, there was a woman who called her daughter Joop after her fav perfune, then her youngest daughter was named DKNY (dikini) after her new fav perfume.

My judgey pants are giving me a right wedgy with those

I did meet a Candy-Lou recently.

Everything abuot her and her mum was chavtastic, but they were the loveliest, loveliest people you could ever meet.

names which are vvvvvvv popular where I live:

Leah
Tiana
Keira
Tia
Mia
Ellie-Mae
Freya
Caitlin
Izzy
Paige

I know of a joop!
Exclamation mark included.

In for a penny ... Savannah is also a place in usa.

I wonder if any americans would call their kids after places in uk?

Somehow birmingham or skegness hasnt got that special ring to it.
.

dd name is erin-chloe is that falling into the chav list?

yes - they reckon it could have been named after the English word.........or perhaps the Shawnee

And given that many American places are rip-offs of names of other countries

hmmm
Cardonnay
Carmayne
tyler
jordan
amy-lou
charlie
Billi-jo

Sarah Palin used Bristol.

Mean thread. I lived next door to what would be termed "chavs" (drug dealers, swearing, rottweilors, old fridges in garden, family fights etc etc). Their daughters name? Sophia. Yet my terribly grand cousin has a Ryan. So you never can tell.

Most of our family names are on this thread. Im pmsl .
I have the worst name ever. Its italian. Im not by any stretch of imagination. I dont look italian. I did however date a suspiciously large amount of italian decended men. Its the name. I didnt realise until the last one kept refering to me as his lady/my woman. His non english father thought it highly amusing. Its just chavtastic.

This thread is stupid and so offensive to lots of people. Let's snigger at chavs eh. its pathetic and smug and superior and wrong in every horrible way. What's the matter with you all.

I'll just add in a 'group' I help at theres:

multiple of Jacks
Lily
Olivia
Ellie-May
Ruby
Riley
Millie

oh and 7 others!!!

Not a 'chavvy' family in sight.

Oh and my names unisex although predomently used for boys (I'm not!).

A names a name - it doesn't define you its just part of you.

Mean thread, can only offend people that see their / their children's names on here.

Blackeyedog i think your missing the point here. Chavy is in the eye of the beholder. Its just a personal opinon.

What one person thinks classy another finds chavy.
Take the thread in the lighthearted way its ment.
But i have 2 ask..,
is your name chardoney-bailey-mae ?

Oh, I don't know, droves, whilst you might be ok with it and see it as amusing (and possibly lighthearted if it was meant that way), a lot of people won't. I remember from a previous similar thread that a lot of people was very upset about it.

And no, I'm not defensive, we have very "average" names.

droves Barking perhaps?

Charlotte isn't seen as 'chav' MissQue. I think the poster that mentioned it was being sarcastic. Most names on here are not chav at all. Ruby and Lily? Nah.
