Poster says a name, next post describes what they picture when they hear this name.

Looks, personality, age etc. Please don't be offended. I love it when my name comes up hilarious. 🤣

Lysander is a small and narrow framed boy that often forgets to raise his hand in class. Partial to Roald Dahl and with a reading age of 12 (at just 7 years old), he can rarely find anyone on the playground that is willing to act out “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” with him at playtime.
Lysander has two older sisters named Cecilia and Ophelia who are both very loud and gregarious. Their parents, both English Literature graduates, plan on having 3 more children. They cannot remember when Lysander took his first steps or said his first word. The family holiday in Burgundy.

Wait, no one did Lysander which was missed out earlier! I know one and I’m looking forward to seeing if it matches up!!

Michelle is tall, skinny with brown hair and blue eyes. She is smiley and chatty, can come across as a bit gobby at times but she's a good listener really. People underestimate her.

Tristan is in his late 30s, well spoken, well read, well travelled. Has a look and dress sense similar to Jeremy Irons in Brideshead Revisited but with floppier hair. Studied Classics, "collects" degrees, latest studies are around political conflict studied at QUB. Moved to Belfast to be thought of as a bit edgy. Flirtatious, but will eventually marry the daughter of old family friends who runs an art gallery and is "well connected".

Isiah is a serious guy with a lot of secrets. Everyone wants to know this dark horse and thinks there must be a wild life behind the quiet brown eyes, but really he just likes to go home and watch netflix and surf the Web.

Cross post!

Samantha is early thirties. She goes by Sam or Sammy. She takes a lot of selfies on her nights out with the girls. She calls everyone 'babe' or 'hun'. She lives in the same town she was born and she married her high school boyfriend. She doesn't like her husband very much, they aren't a great match, but she tolerates him because he's a good enough guy, she likes his family and they help with the kids. She works in a call center, and has decided she will probably cheat on him a bit in the future with someone she fancies from work - a guy called Liam, who has tattoos and a nose ring and also takes a lot of selfies.

James is early 20s, rather overweight, but has a nice face. He speaks with a posh accent, has a slightly sleazy vibe although you feel sure he's actually harmless and ultimately a rather good person, so you don't really understand WHY he gives off this vibe. He has a boring but well-paid job with good prospects. He always wears shirts and jeans or chinos which do nothing to hide his rather large belly. He's pleasant to talk to, yet you can't shake the feeling hes a bit of a tit, although again, you're not sure why. It MIGHT be because he's a proud tory. It's probably that. His parents have a huge house and are wealthy and lovely and comfortingly boring.

James is 30ish, well spoken, wears expensive jumpers and takes his grandma shopping every week.

Samantha?

Lucy doesn’t realise how amazing she is. She’s a nurse in Bristol, married to a bit of an arrogant oaf, with two children both on the autistic spectrum.
Her wider family are hopeless and look to her for all the things.
The room seems duller when she’s not in it. She loves her job, and is an excellent cook. She loves watching crap telly and her favourite time of year is spring.

Kirsty is an accountant in Edinburgh. She had mousy brown hair and wears brown and muted colours. She lives in a house a bit away from the city with her husband and 3 kids. She has a mostly happy life.

Eloise was born Louise but changed it when she went to uni to appear more sophisticated. In public she carries books of French poetry and smokes Gauloise. She has a boyfriend called Raoul who she was only attracted to because of his name.
She drinks Pernod in the pub which she secretly hates and buys a sneaky kebab on the way home, always binning the wrapper before she gets in to hide the evidence.

Willow is beautiful, tall, slim and graceful.
She works in a gallery and models part time.

Sorry, Willow.

Graham is 15 years old but he sports the name of a much older man. His peers tease him. They also tease him for his hair cut, his shoes and the way he pronounces some words. Graham is at boarding school. When Graham gets out, he's going to see the world and never call his parents again.

Joanna grew up in a country house with a mother more interested in her horses and dogs than her daughter. Now an adult Joanna is married but has no children. She does have a horse and four dogs though. She drinks gin.

Fiona

BlueFlavour · 19/11/2021 08:10

Joanna’s parents were early adherents of ‘The Good Life’. She didn’t like inviting friends round as nobody liked tofu and she was ashamed of the chickens in the kitchen. Her parents also had no sense of humour. She is now in her fifties, never married and is a successful investment banker, with a minimalist flat in East India Dock.
She eats clean, but every now and then has a blow out over the weekend involving cream cakes and copious amounts of chocolate.

Manzana · 19/11/2021 08:08

Joanna is a vet, extrovert, caring has several rescue cats and a dog, cycles to work, in a LTR and likes tropical holidays

I missed the bit about taking a personal chance! Sorry! I definitely wasn’t responding to that!

Kai is 12. His parents have spoilt him with material possessions and deprived him of attention. He is confused, often angry and his wealthy parents are paying for therapy.

Joanna

Well, you were almost right on the age but nothing else.
SunShinesBrightly · 19/11/2021 07:52

Joshua is 11. A gentle soul with a love of animals and nature. He wants to be a vet when he is older.

Natalie is white, in her early 30s, and a manager in a call centre. After years on the receiving end of pissed off customers, she's thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to boss around the younger staff and bang on about upselling.

She's 5'2 and stocky, with huge boobs that she's always going about. She likes a night out "with the girls", and is a very loyal friend. When she drinks, she has a very loud, cackling laugh.

She lives in a two bed flat with her boyfriend Gavin. They met at work, and have been together for three years, and like Tenerife for their holidays. She's hoping he'll propose this Christmas.

Joshua.
