Name associations
Do you associate certain names with images of people and how you think they might be?
For example, my girlfriend has a mate called Danielle. She's a lovely woman, and said she didn't mind her name when she was growing up, but now she's not keen as it is associated with chavs, or at least people in the DM Sidebar of Shame such as Westbrook and Lloyd, Armstrong from TOWIE and the woman who married Gary Lineker. |

I see Scott as a Chavvy name since literally every Scott I know is a chav.

Anyone who's named after a wine I would immediately assume were common as muck. I like to set my expectations low then be pleasantly surprised when they're proved to be incorrect.

Certain names which have gone out of fashion I would tend to associate with seniors in the absence of any other information.

My daughters middle name is 'Rae' and having been a lurker here for a while, I'm aware anything ending in 'ae' is associated with chavs or disliked.
Oh well. We gave her the name after her great grandfather and it goes lovely with her first name. |

I think Rae is a lovely and unusual name. It's not chavvy at all.

Danniella Westbrook isn't called Danielle. The clue is in the spelling.

I had a girlfriend years ago named Danielle, she was a haematologist at Hammersmith Hospital, I don't think that chavs were invented then, but neither of those two fitted the bill. |

A friend I'm mine has been in a live-in relationship for over a year with a woman named Danielle, she is a lecturer in psychology, and only 32.

Tracy. Always makes me think of blondes dancing around their handbags at a disco and usually thick too.
Yes, this is my name and no I'm not one of those descriptions. |

Sebastian always sounds to me like the hero in a pre-war black and white British movie, or a bounder in an Edwardian novel. |

I know that. But it's not far off and it's another version of the same name.
