has Annabel become chav?

[backache]

ive heard its becoming overused. i had thouht it was just a fairly pretty older name but now getting worried. what do u think?

No.
I'd say a name is only 'Chav' (hate that description) if it is only used by people you would describe as 'Chav'. Likewise, I'd say a name is only 'posh' if it is only used by people that are 'posh'.

Annabel, I would say is a name used by all types of people - posh, and not so posh. So I would describe it as 'classless' or 'multi-class'.

I know one child called Annabel, so I think it is fairly popular, but not overly so.

I think its a bit pony club

No.

My name is Annabelle ..and Ive never been told its chav.. nor have I met anyone with the same name... My nickname is Annie always has been however I also get nicknamed Belle by my boss.

i live near cheltenham and it's an average name here, so chav,(in popularity,not uncommon but not as popular as isobel)
The doll has ruined the name in my mind a bit tho. annie is a nice nn.

Annabel is timeless and very pretty IMO
I only know one, child of paediatrician.

Love it!

Oh no, not another one of these threads...stop being so daft, insecure and offensive. And call your child what you want to.

IMO it seems a more middle class name although also used by people of all classes.
