chavvy kids names

[NEVCAR28]

What would you say are the most ridiculous chavvy Christian names you hear mothers or fathers shout at their kids these days - You know the sort of thing - Chelsea,Britney,etc.....- Not saying that these are chavvy names mind you,but you get the jist of what I am getting at !

I've just been perusing the birthday greetings page of our local paper & noticed a photo of a sweet little girl aged 3 years old, wearing big gold hooped earings. Her name is 'Jorgileigh'.

Now that is what I call chavvy!

Hi lankeela, you've jogged my memory with your Romulus and Remus. At Grammar School we had a lad named Roland Oliver which didn't mean anything to us at the time until our begowned history master introduced us to the Chanson de Roland and the epic deaths of heroes Roland and Oliver at the Pass of Ronscesvalles. We were much impressed of parents with such a sense of humour.

I help out in a class of 5 year olds. Out of 24 children, there is only one child with a traditional name - ie Matthew.

[xanderma]

There was a family at our playgroup called Wood - fine, until they called their daughter Holly! And this IS true!

Pepsi

Nike

Armani

Levi

Get the jist?! I think some just go into their local TK Maxx to find the names!!

[mycatis]

Er I have a cousin called Levi (her sister is called Chelsea, I kid you not) Gawd I'm sooo proud *sarcastic voice honest lol*

[mimififi]

gesoo - don't worry, Mimi is a weird name. people ask me my name and I tell them, obviously, and i nearly always have to repeat it...I wasn't offended in the slightest.

I had no idea about the Kelis thing. I guess I might have jumped to the wrong conclusion especially when I found out her mum was called Carla. Quite nice I hear you argue, except for the fact that I only know she is called Carla as I saw it written in very yellow gold inside her very large hoopy earings!!!!! I kid you not,

My sister knows a small boy called Sierra.

A friend of mine has a girl in the class she teaches called R-Marnei.

Yup, that's how the thick parent (and I use the term parent in it's loosest possible sense) spells it.

There's a boy in the next village called Drew Peacock. Looks OK written down, but say it fast with the empasis on the Drew, and you'll see why it was not a good choice.

My hubby works with a girl called Jenna. Jenna Taylor. She can't wait to get married.

But back to stupid made-up names...I was asking my midwife what the most unusual name she'd ever come across was. wait for it.......

Mushroom.

I work as a play therapist in a hospital and we frequently encounter unusual, but often interesting names. How about Bless, Mercy, Harmony, Rendell, Bubba (no joke, he was christened Bubba!)

[singingfish]

Oh, and a good friend of mine is called Tuesday. SHe was born on a wednesday.

[gedk]

I used to work in a social security office and you would not believe some of the names we came across. The following are all true I promise you :-

Snow White, Lacey Curtains, Julie Gooley, Al Pacino, and three siblings called, Saab, Bentley and Mercedes!

I now work in a children's hospital and have recently encountered a "Shelley Tubby", several "Tigers' and a Beyonce!!!!

Sorry to those who have said otherwise, but Jordan has definitely become a chav name, along with Taylor and Caitlin.

Smudge, have to disagree with you too - names of film stars/pop stars and foreign names are definitely chavvy. If Metz's friend's kid is called Emilio, it's either completely pretentious or completely awful - unless he's Italian or Spanish.

I went to school with a girl called Shay-Marie. She always took great delight in telling everyone her parents got her name from a pornographic magazine!

[dot.hawkes]

Levi? My Great great great great great grandad was Levi Normanton and every one of his children, including his son levi, had a child named Levi, and everyone of the levis had a child Levi. not chavvy, very traditional and biblical.

[Jenni_luvved]

I know of people with hese names; Porsche, Pepsi, Carnation, Chastity and Taneesha

[mikaltemple]

jade or chantelle-courtney-louise for girls... jordan or wayne for boys.

i actually heard in a supermarket some chav cow call her little girl by (i swear this is true) "j-lo"!!!!!

[c00ky83]

Anything named after a celebrity, anything with a hyphen and anything just plain made up. So that's Shania, Halle, Paris, or Shania-Paris, etc...

[Metz]

Natalie_1982 & Smudge the friend called Jordan is a girl ! Funny how you both assumed it was male. As for Emilio ,he isn't Italian, his Mum was a big fan of Emilio Estevez.

[Alibobs]

A girl who used to wash hair in my hairdressers had three nieces whose names were, Denim, Paisley and Patent. I kid you not. the girl herself had a chav-tastic name but I can't remember it.........something like Charisse I think.

Our local paper has a "Little Angels"competiton this week, a photographer has been in the local shopping mall and the results are a sight to behold. Peirced ears a plenty. A selection of the names includes

Che'anne (sic)

Demi-Jai

Tiana-Leigh

Hayley-Amber

Tiger-Lily

& a pair of brothers, Brandon & Harrison

[smudge]

Metz - speaking for myself, it's probably 'cos I only know two male Jordan's. The only female I know is the model. I quite like the name tho'.

The owner of an Italian restaurant we frequent is called Emilio & his son is Emilio jnr.

[zygon]

Jordan is ridiculous, along with Chantelle.
