What's in a name?

[PrizePillock]

I've never met...

a horrible Tom.

A serious Dave.

An unkind Emma.

I'm in my 50s but that's my experience thus far.
Care to contradict and share your own personal views? 😉

In my personal experience, never trust a David.

I've only known...
Determined and focused Donnas
Old-fashioned, traditional Steves
Easily distracted but fun Phoebes
Kind and intelligent Tims
Lovely, friendly Alistairs
Sporty Andreas and Andrews
Insecure Rebeccas and variants thereof
Bohemian and free-spirited Isabellas and variants thereof

Only met nasty Julies
only met nice Chris’s - of both sexes
only met nice Kevins

Kind and intelligent Tims

DH and I know 4 Tims between us and 3 of them are accountants, the other is a teacher and all of them are as you described 🙂

I’m so happy to hear about the intelligent Tims! I love the name Timothy & feel Tim nice but dim has a lot to answer for.

Ooh I had a frenemy called Emma. She was weird in that she approached me to be friends and once we were she'd slag me off to my face when drunk?! Also knew a couple others who were a bit annoying. It's weird how we remember names of people who were unpleasant and it clouds the name so strongly!

Matthews/Matts are steady, reliable and unflappable, the kind of person you'd want with you at the event of a zombie Apocalypse.

Every Caroline I've come across are two faced.

Sues and Susans are a mixed bag.

Jans are a nightmare!

Maries are lovely.

I have never met a nice Kirsty.

I’ve never met an unpleasant Peter, Joshua, Katie, or Rose/Rosie!

Hahaha I love this. On yours @PrizePillock I'm sorry to say, I've met a Tom I loathe. Horrible, horrible man. And I know one lovely but very serious Dave. But Emma - I can only think of one and yeah, she was very kind, and lots of fun, always cheerful.

I've never liked a Lynne, or a Barbara. The Andrews I know are nice enough, but confident far in excess of their abilities (social in once case, intellectual in another). All the Marys are good people and good fun.

Oh and every Chloë I’ve met has been lovely!

Funny I call Chloe a mean girls name. All the ones I’ve come across have been unpleasant.

Jackies, Sharons and Julies were always bullies.

All my Lucys have been lovely

Sarahs are steady, kind, and helpful.
Lewis is always a 'spirited' child.
Lauras make excellent friends.

Daniels are dishonest. Amy’s are self centred. Beverley’s are bullies. The Emily’s I know are competent and kind, I’m inclined to like David’s, although I do know one who isnt nice. Chris is fine but Christopher’s are up themselves.

For a long time, all Nicks were nasty, but I’ve met and worked with a couple of good ones.

Nigels are always pretty lovely.

I'll see you at the school gates at 4 o'clock!!!!

😉

I wonder if there’s a difference between Aimees and Amys?

I've known lots of awful Emmas, but that's probably only because every third girl (not even really an exaggeration) was called Emma in my secondary school.

😂😂😂

All Tims I know are honerable, intelligent and multi skilled.
All Janes are kind, fun and successful.
All Meryls are amazing latwral thinkers.

Calm down Jules! 😆

Nicks are vain.

Sebastians are pompous twerps.

Natalies are bossy!

Rubys are all madams.

Sams (M and F) are your friends.

A friend's ex is called Tom and he is vile, petty criminal who scammed her out of £2000.

One of my school bullies was called Emma.

I've met numerous serious Daves at work!

ETA I am a couple of years older than you, OP!
