Thoughts to the name Sienna?

[Babyk12]

Thank you in advance

She doesn't have to have a neutral view. She, unlike you, is refusing to perpetuate the classist and discriminatory connotations associated with some names.

You referred to the 'high court judge test' earlier. If your daughter was to become a high court judge I wouldn't be giving a fuck what her name was but, as an interested citizen, I'd for damn sure be hoping her intelligence, social outlook and cultural awareness was more akin to navy's than to yours.

'You could honestly imagine William and Kate calling a third child Kayden?'

So do you think anything that might indicate working class is 'chav'?

But the sad truth is, people DO form opinions based on names. More often than not subconsciously. If you can honestly exist in a bubble where you're capable of never doing that then well done, you've evolved above most.

As for not giving a fuck what a judge's name is, that's all very well but the reality is certain names would have hindered them getting there in the first place.

And what wills and Kate call their children has to do with us exactly? We should care why? ffs

Because you know they wouldn't call a child Kayden. Because you know that it's a working class name. Because you hold opinions on names the same as everybody else.

Senna laxatives came to mind

If you honestly think that a name holds a person back then I genuinely pity you and your small minded ways. You have just rolled over and accepted discrimination. Thankfully there are plenty of people out there in the world who don't and will continually challenge it.

So you for you chav is interchangeable with working class.

I pity you if you don't understand that it can.

I challenge all kinds of discrimination actually but I'm not going to use my own child as some kind of moral crusade by giving them a name that will disadvantage them.

Sonia
Nicola
Bobbie
Sue
Lucy

All female high court judges.

With women like you who needs the patriarchy.

'I challenge all kinds of discrimination actually...'

😅

And then you think enough of the challenging, I'll head to the naming boards on MN and chuck the word chav about.

Why wouldn't they choose Bertie? What kind of name is Bertie?

Stop making assumptions about Kayden's parents.

You challenge all kinds of discrimination except for the kinds against the working class you like to perpetuate on mumsnet.

You know Judges have all sorts of names right? Like Kevin (not a minion but a JUDGE, mind = blown)

I was googling High Court Judge names too and thought MN will be horrified by a Bobbie getting above her station!

Sue, Lucy, Nicola - all quite bland names unlikely to affect chances. Bobbie probably applied to university as Roberta. The only slightly surprising name there is Sonia.

Show me a list of Chardonnays and Summer-Maes and maybe you'd have a point.

I know it's outrageous really. Next thing you know Tyler might be learning to read or something! (Clutches pearls).

When I was doing my masters I'm certain I referenced a Dr Chantelle somebody. Can't find her now right enough.

How am I discriminating against the working classes exactly?

French names in Canada unlikely to be working class though.

Your attitude is disgusting.

I hope Bobbie or Sonia the high court judges are on MN and come along to hand you your arse on a plate.

I sincerely hope you are not in charge of any staff in your job and certainly I hope you are not responsible for admissions or recruitment.

Because you are 1. Identifying names as having working class connotations 2. Suggesting these names will hold people back
