Chavia

[elliex1]

title inspired by my horrendous step MILF. she begged to know what names I’m considering so gave in and got told that my taste was getting ‘chavvier by the day.’ Cheers!
A click-baity title is needed as I am actually due in 5 days, Christ. And people on mumsnet are very attracted to the word ‘chav’ or variants aren’t they.

So my original thread is here.

Here is my shortlist
Harper
Everly
Wren
Skye
Savannah
Harlow - yes aware of the place in Essex!

Helppp! Maybe I should just settle for Chavia, that would piss off MIL!

Just go with what you like.

It's very rare that everyone will agree on a name, so it's not worth the stress of trying to find one that everyone likes.

Ignore your MILF.
I like all those names and don’t see them as chavy. Don’t discuss it further until baby is here and pick the one you love or would regret not using

Apart from Savannah I agree with your MIL. Absolutely not Harlow! What are you thinking!! I’ve a very odd name & I absolutely loathe it. Don’t do it.

Savannah and Wren are lovely and not chavvy. The rest are not all that nice I'm afraid.

Seren or Serena? A sort of mash-up of Savannah and Wren

How about Chavette or Chavetta ?

Indeed @Moominfan (love your name btw), go hard or go home 😂

Out of your list and thinking about the names of your other DC, I think Savannah and Everly would suit best.

Savannah

Also I don't think you meant MILF op 🙊🙉🙈

Think Wren would work as a middle name with both too.

Oh, I was grabbing my popcorn for a Chavia argument.

Are we pronouncing Chavia 'CHA-vee-a' or 'cha-VEE-a'?

I initially thought the first, but actually I think I quite like the second way

Tbh, they're not names I would choose, but it's your baby so pick what you like best. Good lurch choosing

I like ordinary names such as Rose for a girl and Jacob or Tristan for a boy.

Waynetta or Frogmella? Both lovely imo.

Hmmmm, the "v" sound is quite harsh. Chlamydia is much prettier.

Vanna is a lovely Italian Medieval/Renaissance name, Florentine in particular - Monna Vanna (Madame Vanna) is a character from Dante's Vita Nuova:

Io vidi monna Vanna e monna Bice
Venire inver lo loco là 'v'io era,
L'una appresso de l'altra miriviglia;

and also the name the woman in a drawing attributed (tentatively) to Leonardo da Vinci and the title of an 1866 painting by Dante Gabriele Rossetti.... I like the name Vanna a million times more than Savannah.

Rowen

Some other suggestions:
Robin
Linnet
Susannah
Margot

Harper is the worst! quite like Harlow but I'm not from the UK so I don't know the town.

Susannah is nicer than Savannah but I don't dislike Savannah. I agree with your stepmilf though it's a bit..... faux notionz.
Wren is so cute though.

I like skye too. I would choose Skye.

Please, please don't call your baby Harlow.

Hmmmm, the "v" sound is quite harsh. Chlamydia is much prettier.
Definitely, as is syphilis

From your list - Wren or Everly
I really wouldn't worry though you can name her when she arrives! We had a long list and chose from it when we met her.

Other ideas:
Marielle
Noelie
Stella

Dying at MILF
I think if you feel this way about your MIL you have an interesting dynamic in your relationship

Wren.

I really like Everly
