Chelsey or Chelsie?

Ok, crack on then with your telling people off. Your opinion is important to us.

You seem a bit confused Sparkie.

Let me talk you through it so you understand

Silvery highlighted my comment, saying I’m under the misapprehension that anyone gives a fuck about my opinion.

I replied saying that that Silvery clearly gave enough of a fuck to respond to me.

You then pop up, saying silvery was engaged in the conversions so why wouldn’t she respond?

You - random poster to the thread - are then free to share yours on people who haven't asked for it

I’m free to share my opinion with someone who has quoted my post?!? Gee thanks, sparkie! Lol 😂

@PreseaCombatir - your logic doesn't quite follow, but never mind. The OP has asked for opinions.

You - random poster to the thread - are then free to share yours on people who haven't asked for it, but don't be too surprised if the people it's directed at aren't overly bothered, or even dismiss it.

Larry, standing in a shop, not stood.

Bratty behaviour, anyway. I have an unusual name (not weird or a mis-spelling), and I managed to survive a 70s/80s childhood without having my name on a pencil.

As for names: Chelsea, Chelsie and Chelsey are all awful.

Chelsea is the best and I wouldn’t bother trying to spell it differently.
Don’t like the name and it does seem to have certain negative connotations for a lot of people I.e chavvy

You don't make sense.

‘Don’t post if you don’t want to hear people’s opinions.

Someone posts an opinion

‘No one cares about your opinion!’

Lol

🤷🏻‍♀️ Why wouldn't Silvery respond, if she's already engaged with the topic?

I agree with her - nobody does care if some faceless internet random thinks people are being judgy / 'chavvy' / déclassé / whatever on an anonymous forum.

Yes, I am judgy. About many things. And I think this thread is inadvertently hilarious. I have only myself to answer to, so that being the case, all is a-OK in my world.

You appear to be under the misapprehension that anyone gives a fuck

People ask the opinion of others, if you don't want to know what other people think, don't ask

Well, you clearly have a fuck enough to respond lol 😂

Chelsea. It gets extremely tiring having to spell your name out because your parents wanted to be youuneeeek.

PreseaCombatir
You all sound like chavvy dickheads.
Who sneers over a child’s name?
Very déclassé

You appear to be under the misapprehension that anyone gives a fuck.

People ask the opinion of others, if you don't want to know what other people think, don't ask.

Of course, I’m just being facetious, tearing holes in your very valid argument about how to spell a child’s name

@Larry. I’d suggest a child having a shop meltdown is a parenting issue? It’s not beyond the sublime to recommend that the child just gets told no, old fashioned as that may seem....

I have a very mainstream and common name, and just got taught that my parents wouldn’t kow-tow to my tantrums about a shop not having any pencils with my name left in stock since all the other parents got there first....! Heaven forbid we teach children to wait these days, I know!

I'm not keen but if you want that name it might be better to spell it Chelsea.

@Sessy19 I can only comment on the one Chelsea who I do know, who would have meltdowns at not being able to get a pencil with her name on it. Modern technology does not come into it when you're stood in a shop.

My work colleagues daughter is called Chelsea. It wouldn't matter how you spelt it, she absolutely hates it. I've known this lady and her daughter years, and every year is just a countdown to the time she can legally change it.

What about all the other Chelseas happily going about their lives quite content with their name?

I know someone called Emily who changed her name by deed poll. Does that make Emily a horrific name? No, it makes it a name she disliked.

Some very overblown reactions on display here.

@Larry. You know you can waste your money on that trash via the internet, so your poor kid doesn’t have to be mercilessly teased for not having a pencil with his name on it because his parents got wild and didn’t choose one of the 28 most COMMON names in the country?

Think about the long term, but with modern technology in mind...

Neither but then again I prefer classical names. Think George, Henry, Emma, Sophie etc....

@GummyGoddess just make sure anything your mum might see is initial and surname only (assuming the initial would stay the same).

@sashh oh wow, that sort of spelling is even worse than mine! Although the last three letters of mine spell out an unfortunate acronym.

I have no available nickname, my name doesn't really have any available. I'm just so tempted to get the conventional spelling but then if I changed all my email addresses and other things my DM would find out.

Gross

I wouldn't it's godawful

Just wanted to point out we're not 'guys'?!!

Both names sound awful. Awful name, awful spelling. Don't understand too many ees either.

Just silly

GummyGoddess

I went by a shortening of my name and then eventually did the deed poll (the free one) when my passport was up for renewal.

I didn't bother to tell my parents.

Mine was one with a number of standard spellings, think Debra and Deborah, Debora and I got Dyberahh. So I went to Debbie and then just used it for more and more things and finally that became my legal name.

Poster posts on public forum devoted to opinions about potential baby names. Overwhelming response to both potential name variants is negative. Poster does not return. A minority of other posters take it upon themselves to berate the majority on behalf of a baby that doesn’t exist and all the Chelseys and Chelsies weeping into their cereal.

You can pick @PreseaCombatir's post apart all you want. It's just proving her point that you sound like dickheads.
