They are the most entertaining things on MN by far. I'm completely addicted. And I don't just take the piss either, I just love em.

Need to get out more....

Nigella i think people just enjoy showing off. and are dead excitied about impending birth

TDWP - "Evangelica" - very good (see you're not being ignored!!!!)

NaughtyNigella · 23/05/2008 16:15

i still don't get it.
names are a personal choice. you are setting yourself up for ridicule and disappointment by asking opinions.
or is it a bit like going on jeremy kyle? misguided craving for approval?

I got thoroughly ignored on the eve/eva one.

I though I was funny

'What about evangelica'

(sits back and waits for a hearty round of applause at her wit)

For some reason I'm compelled to look - like a car crash! But in general I think they're horrible - some people seem to think 'honesty' is an excuse to be terribly mean and to state as absolute fact what is in actuality just their opinion.

i like them too

i seem to have an opinion on them all

wasnt even bothered about my own childrens names which is strnge

Teuch pmsl, same sentiment, differently worded.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 23/05/2008 16:09

I've recently ventured here and love it. I seem to get ignored though.

Teuch · 23/05/2008 16:09

I seem to kill the name threads, though

Tommy · 23/05/2008 16:08

agree AbbeyA. Usualy it's a love em or hate 'em though isn't it? There seems to be a group who like traditional names and the other lot who think making names up and giving them "unusual" names is a good idea.

You can geuss which camp I am in

Botbot · 23/05/2008 16:02

I love them. It's the one topic I always have an opinion on. Mind you, if it's a negative opinion, I try to just think it rather than post it.

AbbeyA · 23/05/2008 16:01

I don't know why I like them-I will never have to name a child again! I think that it is in RL you have to bite your tongue and be polite-on here you can be honest.

Weegiemum · 23/05/2008 15:56

You and me both. Will never have any more kids, but still strangely addicted ....
