Thoughts to the name Sienna?

[Babyk12]

Thank you in advance

Actually I do work in recruitment and any CVs where the name begins with a J or a K goes straight in the bin.

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

Well I think we'd need to wait a generation don't you, seeing as those are very modern names? But I sincerely hope that forty years from now all the professions are littered with Chardonnays and similar. Although I'm sure even you know that it's socio economic reasons that prevent working class kids from breaking through these barriers rather than just their name. But if the current government continues as it has been, social mobility will continue to be stunted. Which sadly will please some people...

What, like James and Kate?

So are we now making ASSUMPTIONS on how other posters vote?

Sorry to disappoint. Fully paid up member of the Labour Party actually.

I like it, it's a pretty name.

My only reservation (as mentioned by a pp) is that it's the name of an unpleasant character in Hollyoaks. I doubt anyone will remember that by the time your daughter goes to school though.

Sad.

I see why the Tories do what they do.

You have nailed your prejudices to the mast, it's irrelevant which party you belong to.

😂

Jeeso. I've heard it all now.

A fully paid up member of the Labour Party who is anti working class 😂😂😂

It's definitely true about labour's identity crisis.

I'm from Horsham and I've never heard the word chavvy used as MsGrinch uses it.

It's always used as a derogatory term e.g People from Crawley are really chavvy.

Anyway, Sienna is a pretty name.

But then You should ignore me as my son has a chavvy name, and will never be a high court judge. 😭

I imagine people who engage in this behaviour also bin CVs with names like Mohammed and Darnell.

Ugh, ugh, ugh. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. You should be ashamed.

I'm not anti working class at all. I believe in equal opportunities for all and a state that will always support those who need it.

I can hold those ideals and still associate certain names with a particular class, be that Jayden or Ptolemy. It does not follow that I am discriminating against anybody myself.

I do maintain however that names are judged in life, like it or not. So as a parent I felt a responsibility to ensure that didn't happen to my child.

I'm just being honest.

I know a Ciena

Obviously I don't work in recruitment and throw CVs in the bin

I think Lepetit was joking - at least I hope she was.

Poor OP, she hasn't been back. I wonder if she realises her thread has caused a bit of a bunfight.

You are engaging in discriminatory behaviour by using the word chav or chavvy.

Sorry OP fwiw I like the name!

I'm discriminating against an unborn child on an anonymous Internet forum? Okay.

I think you need to educate yourself on what discrimination actually means tbh.

Oh my actual god!

It's the language you're using. It's the using the word chavvy as if it's okay to do so! As if it's a harmless wee word.

And I think you need to educate yourself full stop.

'I do maintain however that names are judged in life, like it or not. So as a parent I felt a responsibility to ensure that didn't happen to my child.'

You were guarding your kid against people like their own mother.

Well, I was using the word about a NAME. Not about a person.

Have I harmed the name Sienna? Is it feeling as offended as you I wonder?

Okay so now you're being deliberately obtuse.

Are you for real?
