Rachel- I had a boss a few years ago with this name, she was a complete bitch and made my life hell!

Emily. I've had bad dreams about her, more than 10 years after our last encounter.

nizlopi · 14/12/2011 12:17

Sally and Samantha for me. Sally was this weird girl I used to know who smelt bad. Samantha because my husband has 2 ex's with that name!

Lee - Ex-boss (misogynist)
Karen - Ex boss (didn't let me have a day off when a close friend died suddenly)

It's very tempting to write down all the RL names of all the MNers whose RL names I can remember...

Then say "oh but I didn't mean you " :o

melliebobs · 12/12/2011 09:01

Every Oliver I've ever had to coach at football has been a little s**t so that was a no. But now we know it's a girl that's irrelevant

MelanieLane · 12/12/2011 08:59

Joanne. Sandra. Angela. Deborah. Jayne. Karen. Barry. Nigel.

Julias and Rachels - all lovely.

Helen: seems to work both ways.
