UGH
JustUGH UGH UGHThat's disgusting.Seemingly, ‘Chantelle’ ranked top because of busty Celebrity Big Brother star Chantelle Houghton, while ‘Stacey’ was voted second due to the men’s perception of character Stacey Slater, who sleeps with her father-in-law in the show EastEnders.'Seemingly?' Though certainly these people/characters probably help with the stereotypes of their names, I would've thought Stacey and Chantelle would have those stereotypes for many other reasons; I mean, I can't imagine ONE example of a name would color everyone's perceptions so much, especially when they're fairly common names.I also can't help thinking, particularly in the case of Stacey, that she was given the name because show writers thought that was an appropriately "slutty" name, which would indicate she wasn't the stereotype originator. But then, I don't watch EastEnders.
