HelpRe: Chelsea for a boy?
in reply to a message by Caitlín
That's really funny - I've JUST finished re-reading that. Isn't it good?!
The name Chelsea has always struck me as rather naff. To me, who grew up in London. Chelsea has always meant either the fashionable area of that name in London, home to the Chelsea Flower Show, summer haunt of the "to-do" London upper/middle classes, or, at the other extreme, Chelsea Football Club, the Russian mafia-owned 'soccer' club, whose fans could have created the term 'football hooligan' (and who have just come top of the premiership in England, beating Arsenal, my team...grrr!)
So I would never use that name for a girl. But I think it is definitely more of a feminine name. With such a prominant figure as Chelsea Clinton bearing the name, I don't think it could be used on a boy.
Rabbits however are a different matter altogether ;-)
