*don't imagine he would really be

I am very very happy to see that after 381 posts with at minimum 5 names in each post (minus the GP side conversation Grin), there has been only one mention of the name we've chosen for DS who is due in Feb. And it's a normal (not made up or weird) yet still interesting Biblical name! Amazing.

Re: GP - I'd be really impressed if any many young children actually know who he is, let alone his fashion sense! Therefore I don't imagine he wouldn't really be a playground name-calling reference. Personally, I think he's great. And the reasons I think the name Grayson is a little Hmm has nothing to do with the artist, iyswim.

Thanks bishbosh and 1978 bows
My boredom curiosity also tells me:
over 700 different names.
least popular letters (Q's, V's etc aside) - K, N and P.
Top 5 most popular names overall are all boys names.
40 hyphenated names
3 baby Simons - due a comeback surely Wink
and my Hmm goes to ChiChi, Anagnostis and Bishop!!

My last word for fear of spoiling a fabulous thread is that children can be extremely cruel to each other. Whatever we think as adults, children in the playground see a man dressed as a 4 year old girl.

Blush @turning a name list thread into a Grayson Perry discussion! Did I get the wrong thread? Thought I was responding to SecondhandRose. Is there another thread re GP? I find it really interesting that people find him creepy and want to know why and if it's to do with prejudice/discomfort with him being a transvestite and assumptions that this necessarily makes him confused and "screwed up". Or if there are other reasons people have come to this conclusion because as I've said I'm no expert on him. And not that I mind people being confused and screwed up at all, of course (aren't we all?), but the few times he has crossed my radar he has always come across as strikingly at ease with his own unusual identity and I have thought that was v fab indeed.

Not creepy and intended to be thought provoking I think. The few bits I've read by him are insightful, interesting and yes, very 'well balanced'. He's done a lot of thinking about identity and happiness (Why are we discussing GP here?)

Alisvolatpropiis · 25/11/2012 03:49

I find Grayson Perry to be quite creepy. Perhaps it was his earlier propensity to dress as a baby girl,but talented or not as an artist he creeps me out. Which I do not doubt for a second is his mainstream media intent.

Why not? because of his cross dressing? I think he seems really at ease with himself and able to engage with people of all different backgrounds with ease in a way that reflects being very comfortable with who he is. I'm no expert on him though and basing this mostly on seeing his tapestry programme on the English class system, where I found this quite striking.
