I had no idea that chav was an acronym. I'd always heard it was a dig at Romani people!
If we step back a bit, the names strike me as more trendy than trashy. Snow, Elae, and Ellie-May are not really that bad. Snow White as a double name is....a lot, but even then, I would think "oh, a child of a Disney Adult" which does not have low-income delinquent connotations to me at all. Ellie-May is hillbilly cute, very un-chavlike. And Elae just fits in with all the other creative spellings - unless you specify "as in L.A. the city" every time you say the name, which is pretty silly.
