HelpWhich names are considered tacky or trashy in your country/area? (more)
I am just wondering which names are perceived as tacky or trashy where you live.
I'm interested in how names are perceived in different countries. Please also add why you think the name has a tacky image where you live, in case you know.
For example, here in Austria Jacqueline is considered a typical name of the lower classes. I think it comes from people giving this name to their daughters but not knowing how to pronounce it correctly and therefore giving the name a bad image. I think it also has something to do with many people starting to spell it Jaqueline instead of Jacqueline.
I actually don't agree with judging people by their names. I really try not to do this and I think Jacqueline is kind of charming because of Jacqueline Kennedy. But I have the feeling that each country/area has some names that are perceived as tacky due to some associations and I am just interested to know which names have this unfortunate image in your country.
I will answer with a separate post.
