is noah posh or chavy?

[mumsywoo78]

i live in a very working class area and have named my baby noah iv had a few raised eye brows over his name do u think the name is to posh for a working class area? even though its number 16 on the top names list there are no other noahs in my area.

Not posh

Neither. It's nice though.

It's... Neither, I think.

I mean, charity's child is called noah isn't he? And I don't think anyone on Emmerdale is too posh!

We had a few noahs at our local nursery too.

Ignore people who raise their eyebrows. They clearly think they should be consulted on all baby naming!

It's a lovely name. It was on my list do ds3 and I live in a working class are.

Not particularly either. Very nice though. I'm considering it for this baby.

Not either I would say. Although it is popular.

It classless I think. Found in every walk of life.

It's

I really like the name Noah. It is really popular atm, like Freya for a girl. I don't think it has a class or stereotype. Its nice and traditional :)

It's a beautiful name! If I have a son they'd either be Noah Edward or Henry Edward. My daughter's name always raises eyebrows! It's not a class thing though, it's just it's unusual. Noah has only become a popular name recently so it's only little ones that have it, so maybe it's more the people who haven't heard it rather than a class thing.

I wouldn't have said either - but if forced to make a decision I'd go more 'posh' than 'chavy'. I'd say probably fairly unusual in most working class areas, though it's becoming more common so he's not likely to be the only Noah at school.

It's neither. Like James. Or David. Just a normal name.

I really like it and am considering it for this dc

It's a lovely name! It isn't either really, it sounds like quite a normal, quite handsome name and not really associated with any stereotypes. It's a great name.

I like it, don't think it has a class attached. I know 2 and they are from just normal families, nice but not posh. It's a great classic name, don't fret x

It's a cute name! And if you like it, who cares if people think it's posh or chavy?!

I've said it before, but DD's name was pretty unheard of when we called her it. Now it's incredibly popular and I'm pretty sure some people would regard it as a bit chavy. I don't care! It suits her.

It's neither. I'm not keen on it myself but it's all a matter of taste. And if you like it that's fine. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

It's classless to me. And lovely.

It's equal I think. It's only become popular in the last decade or less though, so those not had children or worked in child care in that time would find it unusual.

Neither, it's too faddy to be posh but it's not chav. I'd say it's like Joshua. I've seen that named used across a wide section of people.

I don't think of it as either.

Neither. It's Biblical, therefore transcends class and culture. :) Nice name.
