Re: Baby Names?
Thought the chav names were funny, didn't think the teacher chav names were all that chavvy, my two weren't on the list, Ellie and Robert.

Re: Baby Names?
hmph.... i havent heard of this and i really do think it is wrong to judge children based on your own opinion of their name (professionally and as a mother)... every child is unique and a name is just a name and means nothing!

Re: Baby Names?
Chavs call their kids 'normal' names as well, so its unfair to label a name chavvy just because a child in their class with that particular name acts like one.
Matt, Ste, James, Jordan..... all normal common names yet I think everybody probably had a difficult, disruptive, annoying brat in their class at school who would have been labelled a chav if they where at school today rather than 20yrs or so ago. Girls names tend to be labelled chavvy rather than boys I think, chardonnay and all that marlarky, but people with odd, crap sounding names can end up being completely normal and respectful too! Lets not stigmatise them and make it inevitable that they end up being chavs. If we dont label them they will have more of a chance of ending up nice and un-chavved. Lol. |

Re: Baby Names?
its called a self fulfilling prophecy... you label them as something that they are not and they end up turning into that because of the label given

Re: Baby Names?
I think the way the teachers' comments were meant to be interpreted was not that all Courtneys are chavs but that chavs/dobbers do tend to favour certain names. There will always be exceptions but very often they do.
If you meet someone with a made up name e.g Honey-Bee or Tyoni then they are likely to be (not certain to be) chavs.  The same goes for traditional names spelt differently e.g Kelsi, Sherri, Clowie. Hyphenated names such as Bobbi-Jo also send out a similar message. Sad but true.

Obviously, as teaching staff, if you did harbour these opinions you would not share them with the child so they would not be labelled.
