I'm talking about white people whom are middle-aged. Because of the types of antagonists I'm writing in my novel, I wonder if anyone has some trashy names to suggest.

Male names?

Haywood JaBlomey
Carl
Earl
Bob
Jimbob
William "Billy"
"Junior"
Samuel
Johnny
Willie
Charlie

Then you've got your biker/blacksheep/criminal subset where everyone calls them by their nickname:
Axle
Brick
Scooter
Jack
Crankshaft
Mad Dog
Viper
Hoot
Blaze

Bubba, Junior, Dale, Billy Ed, Dwayne, John Boy, Rooster, Bobby, Earl, Carl. For women Sammy, Carla, Porsha, Krystal (specifically with a K), Deb or Debbie.

Having grown up white trash and being middle aged I can tell you that most of them go by some nickname or another and those that don't generally go by their first and middle name.

This is discriminating and disrespecting. No one choose their names.

If you're writing a novel, I would actually avoid the stereotypical names, unless you want people to think the work is low-brow. Dare to defy expectations. People expect a Cletus. Give them something more normal but not too uptight... like Nolan or Patrick, maybe... and let the character define himself rather than the name.

Imagine being communist and calling the lowest already laying down working class victims of capitalism "trash".

Bougie revolutionaries, raise your glasses!
