What names spring to your mind when someone mentions 'white trash' names? We went and saw the movie 'Ted' today, and one of the scenes that I found the funniest (especially because of my interest in names) went like this:
Ted: I met a girl; she's a cashier.
John: No way! That's awesome! We should fuckin' double date or something, you, me and Lori and w-what's her name?
Ted: White trash name. Guess.
John: Mandy.
Ted: Nope.
John: Marilyn.
Ted: Nope.
John: Brittany?
Ted: Nope.
John: Tiffany.
Ted: Nope.
John: Candace.
Ted: Nope.
John: Don't fuck with me on this! I know this shit!
Ted: Do you see me fuckin' with you? I'm completely serious.
John: Alright, speed round. I'm gonna rattle off some names, and when I hit it, you fuckin' buzz it, okay? You got me?
Ted: You do it. I will tell you. Yeah.
John: Alright: Brandy, Heather, Channing, Brianna, Amber, Serena, Melody, Dakota, Sierra, Bambi, Crystal, Samantha, Autumn, Ruby, Taylor, Tara, Tammy, Lauren, Charlene, Chantelle, Courtney, Misty, Jenny, Krista, Mindy, Noel, Shelby, Trina, Reba, Cassandra, Nikki, Kelsey, Shawna, Jolene, Urleen, Claudia, Savannah, Casey, Dolly, Kendra, Kylie, Chloe, Devon, Emmalou, fuckin' *Becky*?
Ted: No.
John: Wait; was it any of those names with a "Lynn" after it?
Ted: *Yes*.
John: Oh, I got you, motherfucker! I got you!
[Ted laughs]
John: Okay. Brandi-Lynn, Heather-Lynn...
Ted: Tami-Lynn.
John: [Exasperated] *Fuck*!
I was just relieved that mine (Brooke) wasn't one of the ones mentioned, but I do know - and am related to - quite a few people with some of these names. And I don't consider (many) of them to be very trashy (lol!). I also just realised that three of my five childhood Barbie dolls had names on this list, so I don't know what that says about my taste in names before I was ten!
Some of these I'm not surprised about, although I am surprised that Destiny wasn't mentioned. And Candy. And some I am surprised were included - I have never thought of Claudia or Lauren as 'trashy' names for example. Do you agree with any of these? What ones are you surprised to see on here? And what names would you include on a 'trashy names' list?
