    I dunnoe  


  2. Lily Allen

  3. daniel lloyd

  4. Shaz

    Shazza


  5. Debs (Debbie) or 'chelle as in Michelle, Jade Goody.

  6. Often names that emulate movie stars or luxury items are associated with the lower classes. It is referred to in sociology as "aspirational naming."

    So a child may be named Britney after Britney Spears or Chanel after the fashion designer. You will also find names like Lexus or Gem after products.

    With boys, lower classes generally name their children after sports figures or names that sound tough. Rio will be common after Rio Ferdinand. Since David Beckham named his kid Romeo or Brooklyn these will be common. By the same token, Butch, Max, etc are also common

    .

  7. it must be single syllable,,,,so indeed shaz from sharon or charmaine and shell from michelle, and debs from deborah.....all reduced to single syllable, you could say cath instead of catherine....liz instead of elisabeth although we have liz hurley so probably a bad example....

    in close second place GEM from Gemma..........but my personal numebr one.....DONNA
