What kind of name is Ashton, Zane or Mason to give a boy?
I'm asking because a fockwit relative of mine (through marriage) has done exactly that.
I mean Ashton Zane Mason ********* what kind of life is the poor little barsteward going to have? Instead of the normal £100 for birthdays and £200 at Christmas into some investment vehicle (as well as a couple of non-PC presents :norty:) I've decided that he and his brother (who also has an abominable chav name) are going to be getting educational materials in a vain attempt to drag them up from the gutter. How can parents be so cruel? These names aren't 'contemporary' they are like having a 'scum' tattoo done on the child's forehead. |
He'll just end up being called Ash so no big deal really.
|
He'll either be bullied at school or turn to crime :thumb:
<------------Oooh, would you look at that? :eek: |
I know two lads called "Mason" :)
|
'Super Muppet' status - I hear they couldn't sell them so they're giving them away ;)

The only cool 'Ash' in the history of everything had a chainsaw instead of a hand. Perhaps if the little fooker gets one of them everything will be OK?:D |
Ashton is ok, but the rest of the name is a bit strange IMO.

I remember reading a survey where teachers named children called cr@p names like Mason least likely to succeed, most likely to cause problems and most likely to have low class chav parent. Think they were most likely correct looking at the 2 breeders I have to go on as evidence. |

All right, you primitive screw-heads, listen up! :D Did they base Gene Hunt on Ash? :wonder: |

In what way is 'Ashton' OK? As far as I'm aware it's a place name or surname. Unless you're some kind of sickening American that is.

Wasn't there an Ashton Martin on 5th gear last night ...??

To be honest, when we chose it, it was because we wanted something different and individual. He's just about to turn 3 and at his nursery, there's about a thousand Jacks, Harrys and Olivers and whilst I don't dislike them as names I just wanted him to have a different name to others in his class. I don't consider it a chavvy name in anyway, although at some stage in the future, all names will become chavvy because chavs are taking over. I'm 36 now and I don't think there was such a thing as chavs in 1970, but I'm called Andy and even that's becoming chavvy because it's shortened from Andrew. Now Britney, Paris or Channel are a different story ;) |

When he's 17 and banging a Britney and Paris I doubt he'll care what some old bloke thinks
Still Chlamydia is meant to be very popular these days and I'm sure it will only be more prevalent when little Ashton is up to his baw sack in a young waynetta......... http://www.kathyburke.co.uk/images/waynetta2-s.JPG http://www.catherinetate.co.uk/images/lauren.jpg http://www.littlerbritain.com/images...pollard_04.jpg |

It's similar to being 'individual' by putting a 'one of' (sic) bodykit and a set of 19's on your crappy Astra. What you have done is mark him out as belonging to the lower echelons of society and what's more you've done it of your own free will. That's a form of child abuse to my mind. |

Sad to say I believe you have now made future life more difficult for your child.

Well lets bring this thread back in 18 years or so and see. :cool:
Close the thread please :thumb: You want it closed for what reason? Because it offer a different view to yours? It's a fact now that teachers have singled these 'modern' (I prefer the more accurate term crap) named children out as being a pain in the ass and more likely than that educationally subnormal. |

What does predicting the 'future pete' mean? I have no idea what a 'future pete' is.
Perhaps I haven't been clear. Teachers right now are commenting on how children with what we will henceforth call 'crap names' are less likely to succeed at school and more likely to be trouble. |
I used to know an Ashton. I thought of it as "American" more than anything else, a bit pretentious maybe, but certainly not chavvy, no.

Studies in nominative determinism suggest that children with unusual names do rather better not worse.
Maybe for Infract he equates unusual to chav! For confirmation look at Professors - they generally have very bizarre names! |

The Chavvie parents will have the names tattooed somewhere too :rolleyes: :lol1:
