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!

How can Savannah be chavvy when HM the Queen has a granddaughter named that? Love it or hate it , it doesn’t meet the definition.
Harlow is a bit close to harlot for my liking.
Just go for what you like OP but don’t tell your MIL your true choice until after baby I’d born and named. In fact get some cards printed with the name and tell her it’s too late to change your mind

Harper.

Wren and Skye are quite sweet and hippish. Savannah is quite American so less keen. Everly is really American so not keen at all. None of these four are awful though, in my opinion.

Chavia is fine if pronounced charvia ;-)

Wren and savannah best if these. But wren makes me think of ren and stimpy

The Queen herself didnt choose it.

Wren or Willow.

If you like Harlow you might also like Marlow? I quite like Marlow personally I think it can be spelt with an e on the end as well.

Other than that Wren and Savannah are quite nice!

I really like them all but wouldn’t use Harlow although I know one and like the sound. I want to know MIL’s reaction to what you choose!

Wren is lovely.
I also like Savannah but I do think it carries a 'common' vibe nowadays.
Everly is awful. Just no! What about Verity?

Willow or Skye.

As common as Mary?

Mary isn't common, it was 259th on the 2018 ONS list.

Use Willow, its the nicest of all the names (but a lot more common than MAry!)

Willow is nice.

Everly is really horrible - it sounds like some 1950s brand of something, like extra long fags. Also like someone saying 'heavily' with a strong accent.

Willa so pretty

Has this thread helped at all @elliex1

Wren and Skye are very pretty.
I don't like the others I'm afraid.

Wren is my favourite from your list.

Chavia Everly-Dae

Or

Willow.

Definitely Willow.

Milf

I see what your mil is saying tbh. They’re all nice names ( I actually really like savannah) but if you want to use the word chavvy then yes the more chavvier among us where I live tend to use most of those names (Skye in particular)

That being said, go with what you like, it really doesnt matter. Choose a name that you love and use it, forget what everyone else thinks! And don’t tell anyone til the babies born, it’s harder for them to criticise then.

I don't like any of them, and couldn't imagine those names fitting in well where we live.
Lots of traditional names, wc area.

Harlow is a lovely name, quite unusual, but it would suit someone at any age.

Rosa
Etta?

You must surely have heard the possibly apocryphal story of Margot Asquith meeting the American film actress Jean Harlow and correcting Harlow's mispronunciation of her first name – "No, no; the 't' is silent, as in 'Harlow'."

Rosasharn.... (Grapes of Wrath) That's along these lines isn't it? Unusual too...
