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!

I like Harper and Savannah.
Wren sounds a bit weird when said out loud, but then I’m from NI and the accent can be harsh.

Tell MIL you have chosen the name Neveah. It’s seems to make the chav-hating people’s heads spin 🤷🏻‍♀️

Er.....is this a boy or a girl?!

I think that it's pronounced Char-vee-ah. (Imagine Craig Revel Horwood saying it, much as he says fabulous)

Don't pick Harlow, it's grim

MILF
Harper - no
Everly - no
Wren - no
Skye - yes but makes me think of a terrier
Savannah - like plain
Harlow - yes aware of the place in Essex! - doesn't it end in a silent t?

Use whatever name you like.
Chavannah?

I think Chavia fits in well with your list.

I love Skye. Round here (east coast Scotland) it is a fairly middle class name.

Sorry but I am absolutely loving step MILF 😂😂

I’ve eliminated Harlow and Harper... Everly, Wren, Skye and Savannah still remain.

URGHHHH this is so hard.
I think
Everly
Wren
Skye
Savannah
Is a much prettier, ‘lighter’ list if you get what I mean... think I’m talking shit now though

I think if I was to use Chavia I’d probably have to pronounce it chuh-VYA, really nice flow, using a soft vibration on the V to avoid harsh sounds.
Yes, it’s been a long day and my boys are driving me mad. Not as much as my MIL though... there are plenty of things I’d like to do to her but going down on her is def not one.

More help definitely welcome and wanted x

Loving Wren.

From your list; Everly.

Chavannah 😁 that's brilliant. Be the only one in the class!

I think Skye is lovely. At the moment there are loads of Islas (once my favorite name - though I wanted to spell it Islay), but not so many Skyes.

Plus you get the Skye Boat Song:
‘Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry.
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye…’

Just gorgeous.

We know a girl called savannah and we just call her chavannah - sorry

I like Everly and Wren and don’t think either of them are ‘chavvy’

Go with your favourite. Your MIL will get used to whichever you choose and will probably deny ever saying it in a few months😆

Prefer Chaviana personally.

Wren is my favourite out of all your choices. Lovely name.

Hmmmm. Bit Freudian your typo....?

I don't really understand Everly and Wren as names for girls. Savannah and Skye are much nicer.

Skye is ok. Not keen on the others.

From your list I only like Skye.

MILF

I love Everly - on my list for my DD

I really like Harper. You'll always have Harper Lee. The reputational rush to her of having that name in 30 yrs time will be nil.

My friend has just had an Esme (with an accent over the last e).

That's a gorgeous name.

I like all of your last list apart fm Savannah. Think it's bit Deep South trailer trashy? Sorry!

Skye. Don't like the others I'm afraid and I do not get the love for Wren. It is just awful!!

Chavia really is the one and only choice, although my phone just corrected it to Chablis, another beautiful name! 🍷

From your list Skye is definitely my favourite - light and bright. Savannah is my second favourite, quite earthy.
Wren somehow sounds clunky and Everly should be a boys’ name.

What about Eva Leigh instead of Everly?

Chavia should be pronounced beginning with the ch in loch. You know, like Chava in Fiddler on the Roof.
