[Opinions] Re: Chavs and their nicknames.
I'm not British, although I know what the term means. I think it's kind of a mean term.Some Brits seem to associate names with the -ev sound, like Kevin and Trevor, with "chavs", to the point that the nickname Kev is used as a synonym.Other names I've heard British people say are "chavvy" include a lot of stereotypically American names such as Taylor and Tyler.
