It's a given that the world's least chav name is Julia, but what are the others?

Oh Elizabeth indeed.

Julia ? I reckon I could chav that up ! Any name can be " chav ". Depends who says it !

hellokitty123 · 19/01/2015 15:09

I think it depends not so much on who says it, but who owns the name. I tend to associate names with the people who have them. Lovely people = lovely names!

Why Julia?

SteptoeAndDaughter · 19/01/2015 15:13

Cressida, Jocasta, Araminta, Ann
Ezra, Cosmo, Vyvyan, Ninian

OttiliaVonBCup · 19/01/2015 15:20

And Ottilia.

Of course.

Katherine, definitely not a chavvy name. Anything trendy always makes me a bit wincey but to each their own.

looki · 19/01/2015 20:13

Any name can claim this title.

Say Catherine - Cathy, Cath etc or maybe I'm biased as I knew an unpleasant one.

I don't understand the 'given' that Julia is above ridicule either? Any name can be ridiculed but it says more about the person saying it than who the name belongs to. After all they didn't name themselves.

Jooleeeea - not chavvy at all.

Montgomery Ponsonby-Cholmondley, I don't think would be a -ahem - chav. You never know though.

looki · 19/01/2015 20:34

Montgomery - Monto?

Monto was morto!

CruCru · 19/01/2015 20:34

Dude - people on the baby names threads tend to get shirty whenever names are referred to as chavvy.

MrsFogi · 19/01/2015 20:35

Blanche and Gertrude for girls.

Bowlersarm · 19/01/2015 20:40

Oh do you know him looki? Grin

ItsAKindOfRabbit · 19/01/2015 20:41

Anything really ugly Wink

soterriblyterriblyheppy · 19/01/2015 20:56

I'm a Julia

This thread is weird. Grin

Bowlersarm · 19/01/2015 21:01

Are you ver' ver' posh soterribly? Grin

Irelephant · 19/01/2015 21:02

I find only rude cunts use that derogatory term.

HTH

soterriblyterriblyheppy · 19/01/2015 21:10

Oh, frightfully so, Bowlers! Confused

soterriblyterriblyheppy · 19/01/2015 21:11

... you only have to look at my username - my vowels are strangulated!

noitsbecky · 19/01/2015 21:39

I'm a chav. My name is Felicity. It's nothing to do with the name!

Tooheys5 · 19/01/2015 22:02

I am a chav and my name has just been listed ^ as not chavvy.

Koalafications · 19/01/2015 22:05

Can a name be 'chavvy'? Confused

CurlyRedHairOK · 19/01/2015 23:58

elizabeth

but Liz for short undoes the grandeur totally

burgatroyd · 20/01/2015 03:53

Chave` is the least chaviest name, along with Chavia. Hmm
