I'm sincerely sorry, I meant "having *been* taught", I'm definatly not a teacher... With that out of the way, in Greece we use the modern pronunciation while learning acnient greek, so it makes it somewhat more familiar for us, but sometimes a bit comfusing as the sounds of some letters are identical in modern greek. By the way, your prounciation of my surname wasn't perfect but good nonetheless, latinisation sometimes can be tricky.
I learned recently the name "Brittany" was popularized in the 70's meaning it didn't even take them 50 years to become toxic because of rich nimby types...
And now we have the fictional Chelsea van der Zee, antagonist of DreamWorks's latest film, _Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken,_ who, naturally, is exactly the kind of uppity snobby popular girl the name was previously associated with. And of top of that, being a mermaid, her name is a pun on the word "sea". (Also, her last name means "from the sea" in archaic Dutch.)
@@finland4ever55 True, although Barbie's youngest sister was originally named Kelly. Wonder why they changed it? Also Barbie used to have a baby sister named Krissy. All I remember of her was some game on the Barbie website where the player had to babysit her.
The neighborhood in New York City called “Chelsea” is located in the borough of Manhattan, more specifically Midtown Manhattan, and I visited the Chelsea in Manhattan when I was 19 with my parents.
At last I understand the Elvis Costello lyric "I don't want to go Chelsea". Also, Chelsea Clinton was named after the song "Chelsea Morning" by Joni Mitchell. They though it was by Judy Collins though, which is somewhat understandable seeing as Judy Collins did a cover version.
As an American born in the late 80s, I've never associated wealth with the name Chelsea, actually the opposite. I'd put it more in the range of poor/working class to "new money". Idk that Chelsea Clinton had that much to do with the decline in popularity; more that Bill's campaign may have helped push a surge in 92. I think it just got too popular in the mid 80s- mid 90s, making it feel very much like a trend that has gone out of style. Chelsea is associated with names like Ashley, Brittany, Jessica, and Tiffany. All were extremely popular in mid/late 80s- early 90s, then relatively rare by the mid-late 90s. I went to a small rural low-income public school in the Midwest (~50 kids per grade level); there were 2-4 girls for each of those names in just my year
Have you done Claud ? I found a weird etymology that is hard to believe and I wonder why anyone would’ve originally bestowed that name to a child. Or was the name given connotation because of traits of early namesake ? I’m Curious what you will find.
@@Ettibridget It is a Sabine name that entered into Latin when Appius Clausus joined the Romans and abandoned his people during the Sabine Wars of ancient Italy. The name most likely means one who is lame, as in one who struggles with walking on their own.
Canada has a fancy Chelsea as well - but I'm not sure one would call it posh. Ottawa, our capital city, is on the border with Gatineau in Québec. Head further north into the 'Gatineau Hills' and you'll find the small town of Chelsea. That's where so many of our ex-Ministers and business people live, and features giant high-end houses - mixed in with multi-million dollar log cabins. It's definitely marketed as a 'mountain getaway' from the city, but for those who can live there - it's just as fancy as the Chelsea in London or New York.
I like the name Chelsea, if I had a daughter, I would name her Chelsea. There is a wealthy girl from Long Island in a story I have written myself and now published on Amazon, the fictional character I have made up is named “Chelsea Prescott” and she is in my book the Adventures of Beth Nguyen’s Youth. When I started writing the book I picked Prescott to be her surname due to the fact that my character is wealthy, but I didn’t know that the girls name Chelsea was associated with wealthy people, until I watch this video, so that is a bonus for my wealthy fictional character!
It was weird hearing the New York Chelsea described as posh, because I grew up reading Spider-Man. Peter Parker lived in Chelsea mid-70s to mid-80s, and at that time it was a lower-class area, or at least the part he lived in. But I just looked it up and it does seem pretty wealthy nowadays.

i recall as kid dad said POSH got name. Port side windows on luxury ships from EU to USA for light and warmth, Reversed cabin reserve on return east. Starboard on right side of boats.
Adam is etymologically related to the Hebrew word adom (ah-Dome), which means red, and also earth or soil. The soil in Israel is red because of the high amount of iron oxide. So the connotation of the name is "man of red earth".
I suspect that adom comes from dam (blood). Most of the _really_ basic words are biliteral roots instead of triliteral, suggesting they go all the way back to Proto-Afroasiatic.
Not sure if the North and South have a different opinion on the name Chelsea, but I view the name as common and unintellectual, not posh and toffy-nosed
How can you be a well to do middle class (daughter of an Earl)? Middle class must mean something very different in the UK. Is it like you’re either the royal family, middle class or poor?

Whenever I think of Chelsea, I think of the character from "That's So Raven". That Chelsea was definitely not a posh brat.

I had a cat named Chelsea. She was a bad ass - supreme mouse and snake killer, kept 4 dogs under control, but was a great snuggler.
I knew two girls at my secondary school named Chelsea, one was spelt as Chelsie, and I also know a girl named Chelsea who isn’t a very nice person.

my name is Chelsea and I never new the connotations of my name! I guess i see at as a normal middle-class name like Ashley or Sarah or something

Patrick, you forgot to mention the comedian, talk show host and activist, Chelsea Handler.
It looks like you might have used a photo of the wrong Thomas Clarke. The picture you used is one of the Irish rebel who was executed in 1916.

We don't talk about Andrew no no no 😂
Watching from Croydon, can confirm that areas of this borough are hell on Earth.
Can you do Thomas, Sakura, or Bruno?
We don't talk about Bruno
If there's one name that's ruined it is Karen.
As a person living in the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, I can confirm that every girl I meet is called Chelsea.
You're pfp is Chelsea. Good luck in the conference league

The orgins of the only two X names in existence, Xavier and Xena, would make great FWFN episodes.
>not naming your kid Xerxes
Not gonna make it...
Edit: I've also known a guy named Xander but I think that's a silly way to spell it
Edit 2: was looking through the catalog, he has a Xavier video
Xenia? Xochitl?
@@Ceilingcat9001
Xander is a nickname for Alexander, so it's not a legitimate X name.
@@SamAronow
I don't know the second one you mentioned.
I've met a Xanthe but never a Xena
You should do Thomas, my name is Thomasina, but I bet you can't do a whole video on that...
I have a cat named Thomasina. Named her after the title character in the Paul Gallico book, The Three Lives of Thomasina.

Chelsea play in Fulham next to Stamford Bridge (but why Stamford for the name ?)
My name is Chelsey, and sometimes I wish I had a name with a more interesting origin lol.

The name Adam means "earth." It does also mean 'man,' though.
*Adam literally means man in Hebrew lol.*
Fun fact: Chelsea FC's stadium is actually in Fulham ;-)
And shite

In my opinion, the name was ruined by the football club.

Im from croydon totally my next child's name, also my cousin's name is Chelsea she was named after the football club
I found Chelsea a pretty common normal name here in Surrey. But it still sorta came and went.
Another spelling is actor Chelsie Ross, who played crafty veteran Eddie Harris in 1988's "Major League".
