What do you think of the name Whitnee?

It sounds black.

The 'nee' instead of 'ney' spelling looks odd.

It sucks. Children should not be named cutsey names or those with weird spelling. It will be a problem for a lifetime.

It looks spelled wrong to me.

not my style and i think i like the spelling better as "whitney".

I dont like it sorry

The name spoken is somewhat old fashioned, the spelling is atrocious.

sounds like an old stuffy British name.

With the spelling, I am assuming that you mean for a girl...it's okay, just a little overused these days.

I dislike it quite a bit.

I don't like the spelling. It looks contrived.

I don't really like it that much, but I did know someone with that name and it did suit them.

I used to live on Whitneyville Road...

I think intentionally misspelled names invite a lifetime of the child correcting people every time they have to spell the name.

> The name spoken is somewhat old fashioned, the spelling is atrocious.

i spelled it that way on purpose. i happen to like it.

Too trendy around here. I like the name but I wouldn't pick it. I think of it as a girl's name.

I agree. My sons are Jack and Andy. Well, Andrew now. He insists on Andrew and did from the first day of school.

To each their own, but you did ask my opinion

true true

The double 'e' ending is particularly chavvy. Miniskirts, large hoop earrings and scraped back hair come to mind.

It reminds me of a stripper/hooker/trailer trash name.

thanks for the input cursed, i mean kirst.

anytime

I hate it Frankly.. not me at all.. but you like it.. so thats what counts. I like the name Roman but most would cringe..and I just couldnt name my kid ROMAN, its too 'pretentious?" but I love it still.. I like Oliver, its safe, classic but a whole lot of character.. Whitney seems like a 'spoiled brat name... like Tiffany or Amber..or Britney.. know what I mean? maybe for a boy tho.

I hadn't even noticed that you wanted it Whitnee instead of Whitney.. I dont like the normal spelling never mind it puposely mispelled... I hate that anyways.. but what other names you like.. I'm sure they're are plenty of great ones.. but the Whinee the person was right..its too contrived. sorry..lets hear some more.. Philbert? ( just kidding)

i'll check my spelling from now on.. its atrocious..but Im rushing!!

not my style, sorry!

meh its ok, just not something original

I think it's misspelled.

It looks as though someone can't spell "Whitney".

Pretty, it sounds soft to the ear!! can I know why?? (just curious)

I don't understand your idea, It looks good, "Andy" is a beautiful name, so is "Andrew"!!!

The idea is that I called him Andy from the day he was born, but he asserted his independence when he started school by insisting that he be called by his full name, Andrew.

It's nice but with the normal spelling--Whitney. I am not into making up new ways to spell names. Kids have a hard enough time in school as it is.

I want to say something, but don't take its wrong side, I like very much the name "Andy", I called my dog "Andy" till I would have a child/baby for me and called him/her "Andy", it's a name for both sex!!

Yes, I was thinking of calling him Andi if he was a girl.
I don't know if I would use a name I had already used for a pet. I had a cat named Murray because I was reasonable sure that I would not ever name my son that . lol

I don't think it matters, it's just a name, I have no problem to call my pet and my kid the same name, but not in the same time!! you get my message?

I don't.

yes

ok

You mean besides the fact, that its spelt wrong? and if it isn't, will be continually spelt wrong by people who have to write it down........... I 'm sorry, but people's names that are spelt " wrong" or go against the norm...just to be different do nothing for me.

Its like asking me, how do I like the name Dayvid?

its the same as whitney.. just spelt differently..some people are so original

You'd be better off going with something like "Tennessee". Or you could go with the more traditional spelling (Whitney) except when it comes time to fill out the birth certificate, you should conveniently leave out the "N". If you're gonna fudge the kid up with a name, you may as well go all out.

If you want something original, go out and pick a name that is obscure, don't mispell popular names.

Just my opinion. I happen to like my name.....It got a bad wrap after Whitney Houston started smoking crack. I do admit sometimes I wish I was named something real different like "Ashalatimnaday"(no not REALLY! lol) There is no "wrong" or "right" way to spell a name, that is what makes you YOU. Unique. I've seen my name spelled so many ways, it's crazy! Whytnee...Whitney...Whitny. What about these names Bryan....Brian, Britany.....Britney, Dru...Drew, Jayson.....Jason, Ethen.....Ethan, Robin...Robyn, Jon......John, Deborah...Debrah, Barbara...Barbra. Well you get it.

Its super tacky and trashy

The sound "whit-nee" is nice.

wow! That's harsh.

I'm curious?, how did you know to answer this survey, did you find it on search engine? do you know the survey creator?

I guess I can't be too chavvy because I don't know what the heck that is?!? M-W doesn't even have it...

All you need to know is held within these sacred pages:

Pay particular attention to the page "Naming your chav baby".

Bof... Sounds like a chavvy name for tacky!!

I have noticed a trend that seems to portrait trashy people and their trashy lives... It's like the "in" thing on TV nowadays. I like PBS and shows like Nova... "Dog the Bounty Hunter" just doesn't do it for me.

You've lost me...

Chavvy or what?

Gotta see his beatch!

He's not a chav. I'm not sure what you'd call him. A hick, perhaps?

This article probably explains it better.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav

Very interesting! It does also mean trailer trash (look lower in the origin of the word) and he's definitely it!! Hick is just someone from the country who lacks savvy but trailer trash is, uh... well just totally yuck!

actually we dont know each other, but it's sure ironic isint it? lol.

hmmm, are you from the country? funny you seem to know much about it & how the people are. we're not all hicks people. tv stereotypes crap to much.

I wouldn't say it was the equivalent of trailer trash, because we don't have trailer parks over here. It's a completely different culture. Chavs are urban, not rural. Wigger is probably closer, as the closest thing I've seen to a chav in the US is the guy in the "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" video. Although being a chav isn't just about the clothes you wear, it's the attitude (which is intimidatory and anti social).

almost too ironic......................

Hey! Don't get me wrong!! I love the country!! It's not like all country folks are hicks and all city folks are white trash... Just the uneducated ones who are - they just don't know better...

I guess there must be subtleties in all that name calling! You seem to know a lot about Chav too!! I don't really care for the distinctions myself - they're all tacky to me! The funny thing about it; is that it's all relative - I'm probably tacky to someone else!!

It's not really all that subtle. Just imagine a young lad aged about 16 with all the grace, sophistication, education and aspiration of a redneck but dressed like a 'wigger' and living on an inner city estate.
Here are two more good sites which have their own perspective. Be sure to checking out the visitors' stories, although bear in mind the write the dialogue in the phonetic dialect which can make it nigh impenetrable for outsiders.

Ha! That was pretty funny! We have our own version of Neds here too only we just call them white trash!

Maybe......

It's ok.
