Does Levi make you think:
A) Jewish? (She's not, is that a problem?)
B) that word that people don't like to hear but denotes a particular social background Confused
C) a nice name?
D) jeans Grin

C and A

FizzyGreenWater · 28/01/2018 10:57

Sadly also my very first thought was Levi Bellfield :(

There was another thread on Levi recently and that was the majority opinion - that they wouldn't use it now because of that association.

Doesn't seem to have popped up on this one so much though.

BroTim · 28/01/2018 12:32

B & D

Fifthtimelucky · 28/01/2018 21:35

A (both because of Joseph’s brother and Primo Levi) and D.

RavenWings · 28/01/2018 23:10

Jeans/nice name for me.

Theshipsong · 29/01/2018 00:36

B I'm afraid.

LinoleumBlownapart · 29/01/2018 00:53

A a hebrew name like Noah or Isaac

deptfordgirl · 29/01/2018 07:10

C mainly but also a.

AuntieStella · 29/01/2018 07:12

I'd think A (in which case C)

But if not A, then D

MikeUniformMike · 29/01/2018 10:37

I would think A,B, or D but wouldn't use it. Lee names were popular years ago but the moment has passed and it's a jeans brand.
Levi Roots was born Keith Valentine Graham.

Makes me think Biblical christian family with 14 other kids called Abraham, J
oel, Jeremiah, Hosannah, etc.

I do actually like it though.

rachrach2 · 29/01/2018 12:04

I think boy and Joseph's brother as above

JuliannaBixby · 29/01/2018 12:20

B

FartnissEverbeans · 29/01/2018 17:07

I think it's an awesome name. I love it

LoveInTokyo · 29/01/2018 18:40

Jewish and jeans.

newnameneeded29 · 29/01/2018 19:31

Thanks all. She's put off by the B views so Levi is off the menu. The baby is going to be called Nathaniel. Thanks for your comments.

gingercakeandwhitecustard · 08/02/2018 13:43

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 08/02/2018 13:55

Biblical - perhaps, but not necessarily, Jewish.
