Thoughts to the name Sienna?

[Babyk12]

Thank you in advance

So what did you choose, Lepetit?

Mumsnet is so weird, I was expecting this thread to be full of 'she'll be one of 5 in her class' and 'too popular'.
North London here, I know about 10 Siennas and my DD has 3 in her class.

It makes you wonder if people who use the word chav also think racist, sexist and disablist comments are acceptable too..

I agree with you Navy. Meant to say that upthread but got distracted.

Lepetit your first post was

'Chavtastic, sorry.

runs away'

It manages to be a mix of both offensive and irritatingly coy. As a matter of interest what is your daughter's name?

I am black. So I think I know all about derogatory terms. Chav/chavvy is a word for common here.

Probably Emily. Or Suzanna... Not Petunia, I hope?

Highly likely.

I just always think of Sienna Miller when I hear it.

No it's no derogatory it means common here. As i said in my previous post. It's like Mia/Jaydon/Chelsea/Tyler... Common. Used alot. You then lynched in insulting me for having an opinion. Chav means common here....as i said in my first post. No need for you to call me thick etc.

Nobody has called anybody a derogatory name. OP asked for opinions on the name and a few have agreed that the NAME is chavvy. I don't think anybody is going around abusing people in the street.

*Chav is a word for common here.

Yes and that's exactly the problem and why it's discriminatory and judgemental ffs.

Oh I see. Common as in 'used often' ...

What a lot of shite. Chav does not mean that. Here or anywhere else.

Common in the sense of overused forfuck as in "You went and brought the samsung 8, isn't it getting a bit chavvy?" ... Common: many people have it.

Chav doesn't mean common in the "used a lot" sense, msgrinch, don't be disingenuous. You know perfectly well what designating something as common means.

I'm not discussing my own daughter's name as potentially identifying and I'm not interested in opinions on it - I'm very confident in the choice we made.

I will say though that when it's brought up in name threads it's never called chavvy!

Well please come to Horsham and ask everyone I'm sure they will agree with me.

Chav has a completely different meaning to common in the sense of popular.

I "ran away" because I know how MN reacts to the term chavvy!

Chav means what it means in my ends. You think what you want, you jump on as you wish. Says more about you than us. To me is common, that's how it is here.

This thread is beyond depressing. Seriously.

Hi all, can we just remind you of our Talk Guidelines on personal attacks? We're here to make parents' lives easier. "Chav" is a very contentious word and we'd appreciate people bearing that in mind when responding to these threads.
