prattler
One who blathers
A prattler is someone who talks at length about trivial matters—a person given to prattle.
The word carries a dismissive tone, suggesting the speaker's words lack substance or importance: The meeting dragged on while the usual prattlers dominated the discussion.
Children are sometimes called prattlers affectionately, their chatter being age-appropriate.
