Re: "Names hip Londoners are calling their kids"

I'm American so I'm not really familiar with any reputation they have. However, I have noticed a kind of unbridled snobbery that seems acceptable there. And they're kind of hostile.

There does seem to be a lot of snobbery. It's certainly a very middle-class demographic I think. And they swear a lot. However, I met some people at a writing event who are members and they were really lovely, and not snobby (although they all said they didn't use the message boards much, if at all).
In terms of the naming board, if you like things like Jayden, Alfie-Lee, Shardonnay and Pixie-Lily then you're going to get a lot of rude comments but those kind of names wouldn't be popular here either. :-)
