Riley

[Zebraa]

...for my DS2. Opinions pleeeeeeeeeeeease?

DS1 is Charlie btw.

A bit chav-tastic for me I'm afraid. Also don't think it goes with Charlie which is a 'classic' name.

Not keen - definitely a bit chav too I'm afraid.

dreadful! sorry but you did ask.

I like it, and I wish you lot going on about it being chavvy would get a grip tbh.

It is the person which makes someone chavvy, not their name.

I disagree - some names have a chavvy connotation and this is one

So giving someone a name which you feel is a chavvy name, then makes the person chavvy.

How ridiculous.

Nancy66 are you obsessed with the word chavvy?

I mean, emma isn't consdidered chavvy, but you wanna see me and tiredemma

my son is called riley, its a lovely name and certainly not chavvy thankyou

No, illegally blonde, I didn't say that - I said that some names have a chavvy connotation. doesn't change the social status of the family it just means their kid has a downmarket name.

Im as rough as houses, yet I sound like a delightful Austen novel.

see???

'downmarket name'

what a snob.

Do you poke fun at people on public transport aswell?

'a downmarket name' you really are a snob Nancy.

Oh and it's IllegallyBrunette. I am not and never have been blonde.

rofl at tiredemma and her delightful Austen novel

Yes and I kick kittens to death too - it's an anoymous website where people ask for opinions - get over it and don't be so bloody touchy

I think you should get over your obsession with 'chavvy' names personally.

You could just post and say you didn't like the name, but you always have to add that you think it is chavvy.

the OP asked if people thought the name was chavvy for god's sake - others said they did too.

Not obsessed in the least - I am also very complimentary about names I like and happy to make suggestions too.

I'll remember to ask you for suggestions then if ever I have dc 4

I have come across a little boy called Beckham. Now that is a crime.

Chav. Train crash of a name.

Nancy, just read the thread after posting, and the fact is, you're right, unpalatable truth though this may be. And it's not NANCY's truth. It's all there in 'freakonomics' ladies.

So glad I wasn't the only one who thought of Riley from Buffy as soon as I saw the thread title!

I don't like it.

Also thought it was a girls name

We're moving to Surrey - is it very popular in Surrey doesn't anyone know?
