HelpRe: Which names are considered tacky or trashy in your country/area? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
These names are typically considered a bit tacky and sometimes trashy in Norway:
M: Ronny, Johnny, Kenneth, Kim, Bengt, Ståle, Glenn, Roy, Raymond, Børre and Harry ("Harry" is often used as a Norwegian translation for tacky).
F: Turid, Randi, Unni, Connie, Reidun, Angelica (Names with extra letters that are not pronounced are also seen as bit tacky, for example Hannah, Sarah, Michelle).
(Any of these combined with another norwegian name might make it even tackier!)
If you check out Norwegian name forums you'll find hundreds. Male names are most often considered tacky or "harry" as we say it in Norway :)
