Thank you in advance

Is it Ezmerelda, Lepetit? Quite cowardly, to decide "not to discuss" your own choice, whilst deriding other people's choices as chavvy.
If you're that confident it passes the chav test; post it and let us judge for ourselves.

It's an anonymous forum.

'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 suppose it could be identifying if people matched her name with your unpleasant character.

Why is it plain to see from that quote Navy? Only if you hold some kind of opinion on those names. Which surely you don't as that would be terribly ignorant of you

DramaAlpaca · 01/05/2017 22:31

Thank you ClaraMumset.

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 01/05/2017 22:32

'This thread is beyond depressing. Seriously'

Isn't it just. And what's worse is they're parents.

No Clara mumsnet ... don't panic. Where grinch lives (Horsham) it just means common. Not poor people common but common as in used a lot. Where I live ( la la land) it means unicorn 🦄 piss. It means what it means. We aren't being offensive so it's not offensive. We can decide on new meanings for words even if it's nonsense just because we want to. That cool with you?

Yes its very clear what i meant navy ... As i said its very very chavvy.... Mia = about 8 of them in the road, Tyler= 2 of my godsons, Jaydon = 5 of FB friends sons etc.

Lepetitmarsellais · 01/05/2017 22:35

Yes, but how did you know that? Only if you also formed an opinion on names like Tyler and Jaydon, surely? Otherwise it would just have been a random list of names

forfuckssakenet · 01/05/2017 22:35

Katie Hopkins is that you?

Any way. I apologise if you think it was offensive. Its not offensively used here at all. Its just slang for "over used/a bit too trendy". Not anything horrible at all.

RainbowJack · 01/05/2017 22:36

Chav means what it means in my ends.

Perhaps the people in your ends should pick up a dictionary.

Chav

Word Origin

noun, Chiefly British Slang: Disparaging and Offensive.
1.
a person who wears fashionable brands, flashy jewelry, etc., but is regarded as having bad or lower-class taste.

Not derogatory my arse.

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 01/05/2017 22:36

^'Mia = about 8 of them in the road, Tyler= 2 of my godsons, Jaydon = 5 of FB friends sons etc.'*

So by that logic in Cheltenham Ladies College Pippa and Annabel must be chav names...

Floggingmolly · 01/05/2017 22:37

But nobody here knows the names of the children on your road, msgrinch Confused.

No Navy not at all, just explaining how the word is used where I live. No need for all the bile really. Im sorry if you were offended. It's not an offensive word here.

Floggingmolly · 01/05/2017 22:38

Chav = trendy? Give over Hmm. Stop using words you don't understand if you don't want to be misconstrued.

forfuckssakenet · 01/05/2017 22:40

I can only hope that none of the chav police on this thread work in hr or deal with recruitment.

Making assumptions based on a name is unacceptable.

Lepetitmarsellais · 01/05/2017 22:43

So Navy, outside of MN you have a completely neutral view on those names? You could honestly imagine William and Kate calling a third child Kayden?

regardless of whether you use the word chavvy or not you know that there are differences.

LesLavandes · 01/05/2017 22:43

OP. Pay zero attention to these ridiculous comments. Take the second 'n' out perhaps? If these idiots make you feel uncomfortable. And they are idiots. Laughing at them. Classy name. Believe me 😊

Ps. Dying to know what krappy names they gave their little precious darlings 😂😂😂

Rantymare · 01/05/2017 22:44

I love it, but I've known of two lapdancers who use it as their stage name.

Firsttimemama2017 · 01/05/2017 22:45

Love it!
