HelpRe: Which names are considered tacky or trashy in your country/area? (more)
in reply to a message by queenv
This is spot-on for the U.S.
I also think tacky / trashy means something different for the general public than for namenerds.
For example, we see Nevaeh and cringe a bit.... but the general public seems to think it is sweet.
My daughter Clarisse tells everyone her middle name is LaToya (it's not) and people always have that wide-eyed "!! should I say something?" look on their faces.

I have a bit of a soft spot for Nevaeh, I always thought it looked a bit like a Biblical name (Neriah, Tirzah, Jeremiah) and it has a soft sound. I love Clarisse, it is very pretty! :) I know of Latoya Jackson. I never liked how it has the word 'toy' in it, but apart from that it is fine. I think it was common in the 80s, according to statistics.
