Chav names make your kids thick!!

[mancmum]

Anyone seen this in the MAil today (read at work!!)

Seemingly government research has found that kids with middle class names like KAtherine and Duncan do 8 times better in school than Waynes, Dwaines etc..

Some teachers have said that PAiges are the worst girls of all and that the following names arose the following comments:

Adrienne (kiss of death - spiteful, sneaky or both), Alanna, Ashleigh, Britney, Candice, Chantelle (spawn of the devil), Chelsie, Chelseigh, Chloe (nasty, spiteful).

Cindy (always a pain in the a**e) Courtney, Cortnee, Cortnie (trouble), Danielle (a nightmare), Jade, Jodie, Jordan (pretty bad for a girl), Kayleigh (a pain), Keeley, Keira (live in fear), Kimberley, Kylie, Leanne, Leigh, Lou-Lou,

Mia, Paige, Poppy (hyperactive and not very bright), Stacey, Tyler (lesson disrupter).

And these are the boys' names that the teachers most fear: Ashley, Chayse, Conor, Connor (a nightmare), Curtis, Damon, Declan, Dillon/Dylan, Dwayne (a terror), Grant, Jordan, Josh (arrogant, nasty, selfish.

Kade, Kane, Kieron, Kyle (always spells trouble), Liam (always a bad lad), Mason (a horror), Mitchell, Myles, Painton, Rhys / Reece (a nightmare), Ryan, Scott (live in fear), Shane (a terror), Troy, Tyler (lesson disrupter), Wayne (a terror).

What do you think?

Cod i've got fish bones to pick with you

luckly there aren't many kids with the same name as my dd.

Every Mitchell I have taught has been an ants in the pants irritating know-all. And blonde.
Stacey is my nom noir. Sends chills down my spine. Not met a nice one yet.
Soz if your children have these names. I'm sure yours are beautiful, placid, genii.(sp?)

My brother is a Jack and he is a total tearaway...

If only we'd known back then what we know now.

Nick Nolte has a son called Brawley

sounds dangerous

anyway I'm not worried about Dylan if it's good enough for K. Z. J and Pierce Brosnan

know a naughty Karl was friend of ds and is now in young offenders, also Lewis and Flynn

Lots of naughty Susans at my school, a Nina and a Maureen and a terrible Julie

I also find it strange that when I pronounce Welsh names correctly (cos I'm welsh) the English kids who have the name correct my pronounciation!

Jade.

Chantelle.

Wonder what's wrong with Dylan? It's my nephew's name. He's only a baby but shaping up well so far! I like it as my father's Welsh - and it evokes Dylan Thomas and Bob Dylan. Hate it when people spell it Dillon though - if you are going to use a name from another language FGS spell it correctly!

Would they like it better if it was pronounced properly, the Welsh way, sort of 'dullan' instead of 'dillon'?

I like it the welsh way. the other makes me think of guitar playing rabbits, but that is just my age

Lol! i used to teach lots of naughty boys called Lewis, Liam, Lee and anything hyphened was usually hard work.
Had a rash of Dallas names when i first started teaching....they were usually naughty children too
Pagan..any room behind that parapet?

Oh yes, Liam and Lee.....bad memories

my name is Danielle and i was always very good at school. My ds name is Connor. He is only 8 months so i don't know what he is like yet

There was a terrifying little boy at DS's last nursery called Dillon.
am surprise about Keeley.

and..."lou-lou"....eh? what a weird name.

at this article. My rl name is Chantelle, my partner is Scott and our twins are Wayne and Dwayne.

Are there any well-behaved Leons?

And these are the good names apparently.

Kate, Gregory, Sean, Charlotte, Jamie, Daniel, Lucy, Isobel, Ben, Sam, Harpreet, Imran, Asam, Alice and Joseph

Good names for me have been

Emily, Hannah, Sophie, Amy

David, Alex, James, Stephen

Two of my boys are in your list hmb Hurrah!

Quotes from a book someone lent me (pretty sure it's american - guess how I know?) :

"HOW TO CREATE A UNIQUE NAME

1. Spell a traditional name in a unique way, e.g. Britnee; Dwain. Jessika

2. Add a Prefix
   e.g. Leron, instead of Ron
   Shakara instead of Kara
   Taleah, instead of Leah

3. Change the last syllable or add a syllable
   e.g. Davon, instead of Dave
   Wondetta or Wondelle, instead of Wanda

4. Change the first letter or letters
   e.g. Devin, stead of Kevin
   Jarryl instead of Darryl
   Shavonne instead of Yvonne "

............. there are loads more categories. Sahll I go on?

So is one of mine!!!

But that was fluke.

Chavonne even?

I bet Leron would be a bit of a tinker

Chavonne would have dead straight , blonde (with nice dark roots) hair, full face make up, chewing gum and a permanent 'WTF' look on her face.

Probably
