    Chav's are English entities I'm afraid, and not knowing England too well, I can't really comment.

    Knacker names, however, are more familiar. I've heard knackers call their unfortunate sprogs terrible names including "Rihanna", "Shakira", "Romeo", "Brooklyn" and more, either pinched from celebrities or badly inspired by them. Knackers with money inspire knackers without money, it would appear.

    With regards to "posh" names, I'm not sure I could identify a name as "posh". A lot of "posh" names are merely historical or perhaps British in origin. Doesn't really make them posh, and just because someone can name their children properly, doesn't mean they're a target for mockery.

    Water, not quite, but there is an ass load of social housing in the inner city that is breeding townies of a caliber we haven't ever seen.

    Sometimes if my teenage girls are annoying me/acting up when we're out in public, I call out to them "Pochantas,Esmerelda,come on,we have to go now...."

    It so pisses them off,and you should see the looks from other people-priceless.:D

    That's absolutely brilliant, must remember this for the future.

    When I had my son we told my mother-in-law that we were going to call him Sebastian, her reaction was priceless.

    Chaviest names - any name that is copying someone famous -Madonna, I also dont like Angel.

    Any of ye work in banks or call centres?

    Rarely and it might never happen to you but it can happen that you'll be speaking to British Lord, Earl, whatever

    And they insist on using their titles
    The arrogance just seeping down the phone lines

    Never mind we don't recognize these titles in a Republic

    I'm too chicken to ignore the title and wind them up, job is stressful enough without picking fights. If they want to be called a Lord so be it


    There was a poster on boards once with a similar experience and the Lord threatened him with a treason charge :eek:

    A name is only as chavvey or posh as the accent that is shouting the name across the pub / estate / country club / polo course.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 143 ✭✭Killed By Death


    I'm always amused at the 'wannabe posh' names that end up being common as muck through overuse eg;

    'Beatrice', once a posh British princess now there are at least three in every creche!
    Same with Cosmo, Casper and Hugo! :rolleyes:

    Chavvy; Rhianna, Brianna, Brooke, Megan, Lily, Molly yada yada etc
