What do you guys think of the name Chelsea?

A part of me really hates it, because it reminds me of a snotty blond girl, but another part of me really loves it, and feels guilty about that because it's such a popular name.

i like it.

also a fan of Chesley (chez-ley)

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

For a girl, or is that for a boy?

reminds me of the hairstyle (shaved head with bangs)

Girl - and i was just thinking, the emphasis is less on a z - its more of an s.

i just cant figure out how to write the prn - its basically just as it looks:

Chesley

Hate it. I know it's very trendy, as is Camden, but it just makes me think "Tufnell Park, Arsenal, High Street Kensington...", or tube trains and Chelsea Tractors (aka SUVs).

Neutral. It's pretty but not a favorite.

i like it. my mom was going to name my sister that but she liked sophia instead.

Yeah, I don't think it is even in the top 100 now.

It's a place name and seems rather low-class to me. But if it must be used, Chelsea is the best spelling.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's cute.
Reminds me of a chesnut.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Oh, well I meant for people my age.
There's about, fifty million Chelseas in my school.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I feel that way about several names, but this one I am basically wobbling on the line between super-hate and super-like. :/

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Why low-class? Because it's a place name?

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

You're lucky.
In attendance its', "Chelsea?"
"Which one?"
"Uhh, Chelsea .F."
"They're five of us."
"Oh, well, then Chelsea Fi..fiy..oh,"
"Chelsea Finitto?"
"Oh, yes."
"Well, she's not here."

!! It gets a little annoying.

I've always been under the impression that Chelsea was a rather wealthy part of London, which makes me think that Chelsea is an aspirational name, like Porsche or Diamond. While I'm guessing most parents now probably just like the sound, I suspect it began that.

My name is Chelsea.

I love my name.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Haha that's exactly how I feel about it!

When I was 13 my "enemy" was a snotty blonde Chelsea.... but part of me finds it cute somehow. Definitely not my style of name either.

[kyo-o.livejournal.com]

I actually quite like it but where I live, Chelsea is the standard chavette name.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I like Chelsea a lot!

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

I agree - it's tacky.

[elsh.livejournal.com]

Chelsea is a middle class, preppy snobby name. Still, it's a legitimate name. I don't mind it. I named one of my birds Chelsea once.

[serendipitous13.livejournal.com]

I like it. My husband likes it too.
It's on our list.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Ohh, that's true.
I guess in a couple decades/years Diamond won't be considered so trashy.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

No, I probably wouldn't ever name a kid that, but I still like it when I hear it. Guilty pleasure, if you will.

PS- Your icon is so cute.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Hehe thanks... that's me when I was 1 haha.. I still like chocolate but I try to make it more discreet these days

[katelovesyou.livejournal.com]

reminds me of my haircut.
