For a girl - what do you think?

Slightly chavvy for a boy - unspeakable for a girl

What does chavvy mean? (Another word I'll soon be accidentally dropping into my vocab I'm sure...the other day I called something "poncey" and my friend almost laughed herself into a fit. ) I'm not a huge fan of Riley. I used to be but it's overused here, along with Bailey/Baylee, Kiley/Kylee/Caylee/Kaylee, etc. It's not as bad as those, but not great IMHO. Your kiddo though, your choice!

So many Riley/ Reillys here in Canada it's very very popular. Girl and Boy.

CheerfulYank - allegedly chav is an acronym - 'council house and violent' but it first appeared a few years ago to describe a group of young people whose 'badge' was Burberry print bags, baseball caps etc. It's become over-used (as you can tell by the fact that respectable people like me have started using it to label some poor unfortunate child whose name we're not keen on!)

Chav images - no mention of a Riley - I am feeling REALLY guilty now!
