HelpRe: Which names are considered tacky or trashy in your country/area? (more)
in reply to a message by Mireio
Its interesting that several names associated with Scotland or Ireland like Callum, Connor, Shannon, Kyle, are considered tacky by the British. Is Connor considered tacky by everyone in the UK or is it just the English?
Kai surprised me. I think of it in terms of Arthurian myth, so it seems knightly.
Most of the girl names you mentioned are considered either dated or a bit tacky in the U.S. as well.

I think it's just the English. I know from having lived in Scotland and Northern Ireland that those names are just considered normal, traditional names there.
I like Kai. Unfortunately it's got negative associations here due to some "tacky" celebrities using it, and then it increased a lot in popularity.
