Thoughts to the name Sienna?

[Babyk12]

Thank you in advance

Raw Sienna or Burnt Sienna? paint geek I think it's a lovely name and that you should ignore small minded people who have nothing to do but make nasty comments...

I love it. I never considered it to be chavy at all, maybe because I grew up with a very middle class sienna.
Either way I think it's a beautiful name

What about Amber, instead?

Similar colour. Still pretty. Still underused.

Amber sounds like an American porn star.

Thanks Navy. People like me are really flattered by the fact you can't accept we have a different opinion to you and feel the need to post threads. You do realise I'm not the only person who has this opinion on this name and how my opinion is just as valid as yours? Shall I post a thread about you? Bit personal isn't it, sweetie?

Anyway OP, what other names do you have on your list? Maybe we can all help with names that fit the names you like.

She likes the name Sienna.

Doesn't make you correct either. The beauty of life!

Chavvy round these parts too (North West)

I'm with you Navy, and was also on that thread you refer to.

There are plenty of ways to say you don't like a name without using an offensive, derogatory term like 'chavvy'.

Like I said on that thread I challenge it regularly on here, but it's like trying to hold back the tide.

I think it's lovely. I obviously don't have a proper handle on chav, though, as according to Mumsnet, my dd's name is the very epitome of chavness
It's Lauren

Ooo, Lauren's a beautiful name.

Sounds very graceful and proud. Lauren Laverne is a good example of a Lauren.

People have no choice over their race, sex etc but people DO have a choice over what they name their child, so I don't think you can make that comparison.

Would it be better if the word chav wasn't used but we just explained the connotation we have with the name? Like for me, I actually think it's quite a pretty name but unfortunately I imagine a little Sienna to be wearing a jojo bow and her mum has a tattoo on her neck. Saying Sienna.

Thank you, Joffrey. I thought so myself till I came on here!

That's a much better way of putting it Lepetit. Gets your opinion across perfectly without using unpleasant language.

Flogging Lauren is lovely, nothing wrong with it at all.

My DS1 has an Irish name which is considered very 'chavvy' by a contingent of MN.

Chavtastic

My daughter is called, Siena. She is 23 now. We have only come across one other girl in her life with that name and spelling. It is NOT chavvy mumsnetters. Ffs. Would love to know what you named your kids😂😂😂.

Obviously this spelling is named after an ancient historical city in Italy. Sienna is a colour. However, don't pay any attention to the krap comments. Siena (my spelling) is a beautiful name .

Very pretty but also quite popular here too (south east)

It's not a presumption. I don't presume all Siennas to be like that. It's just a connotation. There's a difference. Having associations in your mind isn't ignorant.

When I was pregnant I thought long and hard about what to name DD. It wasn't just a case of what I liked; I wanted to choose something that would carry her anywhere, the old high court judge test etc, would sound good for both a little girl and a grown woman, and that wouldn't tie her to a particular time through being too popular.

Thick and ignorant? I don't think so.

Navy I agree with you 100%... replace the word chavvy with black, Asian, Jewish, any other demographic indicator and see if we still think it's acceptable.

Some people just spout absolute judgemental pish.

It's no wonder the tories are doing as they please to the poorest and most vulnerable in our society.
