HelpI agree with Bex.

Its a name that is popular in a lower socio-econmic class. That's the reason it's thought to be trashy. Certain names will be indentified as trashy or classy by the socio-econmic group that uses the name.
There are several names in BtN that I consider trashy. Madison for a girl, Kayley, Kayleigh, etc. They are names that I feel that I would see more often in a trailor park. And since trailor parks, and the people who live there, have such a negative stereotype, I wouldn't use them. Why on earth should I limit the way my daughter is percieved through using a name like that? If you don't believe that your daughter would be affected by using a "lower-class" name, you're wrong. Several studies have been done showing that person with the same qualifications who has a lower class name is less likely to get the job then a person with a "higher-class" name.
Its true. I would never use a name that could even slightly be construed as trashy.
