RAGE- inducing baby names

just looking through and found that some more unusual names can generate a lot of hateful posts. Personally I think most anything besides obvious clangers like P. Neece can go & it's a lovely way to express creativity.

So why do some people post just downright rude messages? It's actually very rude & some posters don't seem to realise that it's all a matter of opinion anyway, just because you personally dont like a name, it doesn't mean it's a bad name! YOU don't have to name your kids it!

I agree with Poppy and think that some posts on here are really nasty! Maybe not rage-inducing, but some are rude. I agree that people want honest opinions when they post, but there are nice ways to say you don't like something - especially considering that you might be speaking to sensitive pregnant people!

and if you're that bothered by it why not just hide the baby name threads?

I think RAGE is slightly dramatic, asking for opinions on the baby naming threads on Mumsnet guarantees you get honest and frank opinions - I agree that sometimes use of the words like 'chav' or 'horrible' are not entirely necessary however I wouldn't be taking offence - life would be very boring if we all had our kids named the same thing
