Am I being bitchy here or snobby ? I wanted to get a onesie with my friend's new baby's name on, something cute and classic, and was given a contact. This woman personalises all kinds of things on request - cushions, T-shirts, masks, bags, you get the picture, but the majority of items are for babies.

I've spent an hour going through her Facebook page and seen a selection of items with the names on as shown below. I'm genuinely surprised, and as these are intermingled with her own personal pictures, they are family and friends, not there for illustrative purposes so they are real names:

Frankie-Wayne
Dolcy (pronounced Dolce as in D&G)
Elsie Mai Pam
Tommi-Jay
Jenson-Joe
Trafford
Catlin (not Caitlin)

Plus a few ordinary names like Jack, Willow, Ava, Poppy etc.

There's also a T-shirt that has a name on it followed by "I'm right, your wrong and nothing can do about it" (???)

I'm giving this a swerve and going elsewhere, because I think it looks tacky. Apologies if anyone has children with those names.

@FlexibleWorkingDenied I did make an assumption, but that was because several posts had customised items with D&G logo and Dolcy by the side. I also Googled it.

@JuniorMint
Ahh apologies! I simply just quoted OP without checking the grammar (middle of the night, feeding a sleepy newborn! Haha). It should be 'you're'. My brain went to 'where do I recognise that line from?' rather than checking the grammar. If it is printed incorrectly on the clothing then that would very much irritate the pedant in me! Smile

How do you know how Dolcy is pronounced after seeing it printed on a T-shirt on a Facebook page?

@babyturtle19

The "I'm right your wrong ..." is a line from Roald Dhal's Matilda (possibly a favourite book of the child the gift js for?)
I think the OP was pointing out the grammar error rather than the actual quote itself (your/you’re).

Is it deliberately misspelled???

Please tell me you're joking.

Genuinely surprised there are people with different taste to you?

Posting it online so others can have a laugh too?

Yes, you're being bitchy.
