One person posted at least 3 times on my name thread to get the point across that she didn't like the name, adding links and new comments and guffawing to other posters about it
That is just malicious even if I had asked for opinions.

They don't always ask. Even the ones where they say I am going to use this, please be nice are ignored.
I didn't ask for the names to be tornapart critiqued, I just asked which one.

The big difference between this and other names threads is that names threads ask for opinions about names that MNetters are intending to use for their baby. This thread asks for lists of names to ridicule/scorn... which is always going to be fairly sensitive and potentially offensive.

and anyway it's all gone tits up and should probably be left alone now.

Thread has moved on since I was last here. But I feel the need to respond to someone's merriment that I apparently thought the name Jacob was new - of course it's been around forever, but it's particularly ubiquitous at the moment. I don't dislike the name; I just don't understand why people are happy to give their DC a name that so many other kids around them also have. That was my point - names that are in hysterically common usage, not the loveliness or otherwise of the names themselves. But each to their own.

Utterly bizarre.

I didn't think I was the sort to get offended but people were cruel about me and the two names we like for bubs (Donte and Dante).

They said one made us sound dumb. Someone else illiteracy. Someone said they were chav, best of all was "they're both shite".

I don't see how this thread is any more offensive than any other thread in the baby names topic.
There are rude nasty comments on all of them.

Slubber ... Was actually being conciliatory. Saying I don.t care but now genuinely more mindful of those that do. Oh well
