Re: Is Wesley "redneck"?

Nah. The fact that it's a -ley surname gives it the same 'rural bro' potential as a lot of names that are widely used. It works as such a name, but so does Ashley. So does Riley.
I think Wes just sounds like a generic friendly guy. I like it.
Not that you asked but ... If a guy were to go only by Wesley, and refuse to answer to Wes, that would give me a sort of tense, stuckup vibe (which could suggest either city-boy or country-boy type insecurity, nonspecifically, to me) - but the name Wesley doesn't do that in itself.
