... is Karen a "chavvy" name? Please don't flame me for saying using the c-word either, I don't know how else to put the question!!!
We're not from the UK so it's hard for us to know if names are associated more with people from one class or another.
We want to call our daughter Karen (or Kerryn) as it's a popular Israeli name (DH is Israeli) but want a name that works in the UK too. My mum says it's a "hairdresser" name (please, no insult meant there either!!!) and along the lines of Chardonnay and Sharon!
I've known quite a few Karens in my time, from various classes/cultures, and all of them lovely people. But I don't want to give my child a name that she'll find embarassing!
