If it isn't Lord Snooty himself, Jacob Rowls-Mogg!
Well I certainly caught a few with the blandest of baits in using "Christian name"
But what exactly is "snooty" about anything I've said? You're really just throwing words around that chime with your own narrow worldview.

Dewsbury-Hall at Leicester is my favourite, sounds like somewhere you'd visit with your national trust pass.

I'm all for different opinions.
Just go ahead and justify them so we can all see the merits of your thoughts.
I'll start the sentence for you, "Noticing and remarking on social trends is snooty because..."

To say we all support a team from one of the more deprived areas of the country, there's an awful lot of sneering at 'lower-income', 'lower class', 'opposite of posh' folk going on. Never knew we had so many snobs.
A name's just a name and trends come and go. It means nowt to me if its Fred Smith or Kaylen-Jaiden da Silva Ainsworth-Nelson IV, so long as they're banging them in for the Clarets.

...Maybe it's because the names are printed above the numbers on the back of the shirts. Maybe footballers want to credit both parents in that regard. They probably wouldn't use both names if they lived outside the public eye...
Or perhaps it's the clubs rather than the players who are behind it? All that additional income/profit when printing the letters onto replica shirts

Where? I haven't seen any evidence of this whatsoever.
You'd have to live in cloud cuckoo land not to notice that upper class and lower class people have recognisably different name choices.

for someone who works in a school your misuse of apostrophes is shocking.
Someone bit, I thought it would be someone else, mind you !

Let's face it someone called Okayden Armani Thomas-Smith is more than likely going to be riding an electric scooter at old people. It's the modern world

I fail to see why using the phrase 'christian name' is contentious? It is what I was taught as a kid in a non-secular school so see it refering 'innocently' to a given first name. If that is an issue these days, stop the world...

I quite agree but there is, as seen on this thread, a peculiar kind of reactionary type eager to wrongly infer all kinds of meanings beyond the simple things being said.

If you actually read the thread you will see that not a single person has wrongly inferred anything by you using the term Christian name. You appear to be imagining things. It just seems to be one poster who lives in Germany who is unfamiliar with the commonality of the term.

You've wrongly inferred again here.
When I spoke of incorrect inferences I was referring to the accusation of "snootiness".

These are two different sentences.
