Malory, Fenella sounds like the witch from Chorlton and the Wheelies.

Monty - I don't like
Joshua - I like Joshua, but not Josh; very popular
Finlay - I quite like this and Finn but would never use as it is surname of Dsis's boyfriend
Charlie - I like this, but would have Charles as full name; getting very popular
Jo - I like Joseph a lot; Joe is the male shortening normally
Toby - OK
Alexander - not so keen but inoffensive
Will - I like William a lot, and the shortening WillZachary - like Zachary but not Zach

Ruby - I like
Katie - again I like but would have Katherine as the full name; very popular
Emilia - prefer Amelia or Amalie; shortened to Millie
Fenella - don't like this

What does it take for name to become chavvy?

Does happen when chavvy people start using the name or when all non-chavvy people stop using the name?

If it's the first reason, then surely all names are chavvy (well, all those in the top 100 or so).

Joshua and Ruby would not be on my list (getting far too popular). And Joe would be spelt with an 'e' (and I also haven't ever heard of Amelia spelt with an 'E'). Other than that, no comment. None of the other names would look amiss at my son's prep school .

none are chavvy
but they're all a bit bland imo

Personally I think none of them are chavvy. I would prefer to see Charles, Joseph, Tobias, William etc but I wouldn't hear any of the above names and think the parents must be chavvy.

My favouries are Finlay & Zachary & Amelia and Ruby is sweet too.

How about Jonty short for Jonathan?

Emilia was good enough for Shakespeare!

Have always loved it and might have used it if Amelia hadn't been so popular. Plus most people don't take the time to actually see how the name is spelled, as I am learning from the misspellings of the very ordinary name we ended up giving dd.

All those names are lovely although not wild about Ruby. Agree that Jo need an 'e' if it's a boy.
