HelpRe: Which names are considered tacky or trashy in your country/area? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Names like Honey Boo Boo are considered tacky. Thankfully, it is not the tv personalities real name.
Names that might strike some people as tacky:
Clamydia
Chastity
Bambi
Coco
Chardonnay/Champagne/(other alcoholic beverages that the kid was conceived on)
Porsche/Lexus/(brand names)
Bronco
Rebel
Cougar
Using your kids names to make a joke, pun, or obviously political statement can also be perceived as tacky.

I never understood how Brandy became so common in the US, or Chardonnay in the UK. As far as I know these names don't have any other background except from the alcoholic beverages :/

Chardonnay was used as the name of a character in a somewhat trashy British TV series called Footballers Wives in the early 2000s. I don't think it had really been used as a real name before that. However, after the show aired it started being used. It's never actually become that popular in the UK. I remember reading somewhere that it had been given to 50 babies but last year there were just 7. I also saw a Shardonnaie or something similar the other day, can't remember where though.

Brandy is a skilled singer. She made an excellent Cinderella, and her duet with Whitney Houston, who played the fairy god-mother, was excellent.

Yeah she also had a fun TV show called Moesha!
